The book discusses the scientific basis for the thesis, drawn from animal studies, and reinforces the now widely-accepted tenet that diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular, respiratory disease and diabetes are linked to poor health and nutrition of the mother and baby. including appendicitis and Paget's disease.

The Best Start in Life

How a Woman's Diet Can Protect Her Child from Disease in Later Life

By: David James Purslove Barker,David James Purslove Barker, 1938-

For twenty years, Professor David Barker, has undertaken ground-breaking research into the relationships between diet and heart disease. His findings have shattered existing medical thinking with the discovery that, far from being caused by rich food and a sedentary lifestyle, heart disease actually begins in the womb. Professor Barker has revealed how the food mothers eat before and during pregnancy, and the food they feed their babies in the first three, crucial years of their lives after birth can determine the child's chances of having a heart attack as an adult. Every parent needs to know what they can do to reduce the risk of their children having a heart attack, a stroke, or diabetes. The Best Start in Life is a guide that will show the foods that should be eaten by women wishing to conceive, once they become pregnant, and what they should feed their children in the first three years of their lives. Written in a clear, easy-to-follow style, this pioneering book is a must-have for all parents and parents-to-be. It could, quite literally, save your child's life.

Epidemiology for the Uninitiated

By: Geoffrey Arthur Rose,David James Purslove Barker

Abstract: Fifteen articles are presented to assist prospective authors in the experimental design, conduct, and interpretation of epidemiologic studies. The information also should aid readers of medical journals in judging the validity of the conclusions presented in published epidemiologic studies. Attention is focused on the rudiments of the epidemiological approach, its terminology, and methods, with the premise that all findings must relate to the defined population. Topics include; repeatability and v alidity; observer variation; planning and conducting an epidemiological survey; comparing relative rates; difficulties introduced by biased case selection and incomplete follow-up; and the importance of screening patients for preclinical disease. Guidance also is given concerning comparisons between communities or between individuals, and the proper and improper selection of controls. (wz).
