1 364 Review Fetl progrmming of coronry hert disese Dvid J.P. Brker People who develop coronry hert disese grow differently from other people both in utero nd during childhood. Slow growth during fetl life nd infncy is followed by ccelerted weight gin in childhood. Two disorders tht predispose to coronry hert disese, type 2 dibetes nd hypertension, re preceded by similr pths of growth. Mechnisms underlying this re thought to include the development of insulin resistnce in utero, reduced numbers of nephrons ssocited with smll body size t birth nd ltered progrmming of the micro-rchitecture nd function of the liver. Slow fetl growth might lso heighten the body s stress responses nd increse vulnerbility to poor living conditions in lter life. Coronry hert disese Dvid J.P. Brker MRC Environmentl Epidemiology Unit, University of Southmpton, Southmpton Generl Hospitl, Southmpton, UK SO16 6YD. e-mil: djpb@ mrc.soton.c.uk The serch for the cuses of coronry hert disese hs hitherto been guided by destructive model. The cuses to be identified were thought to ct in dult life nd to ccelerte destructive processes, such s the formtion of therom, rise in blood pressure nd loss of glucose tolernce. However, it hs recently been shown tht the growth of people who develop coronry hert disese differs from tht of other people during fetl life, infncy nd childhood. This hs led to new developmentl model for the disese [1 3]. Figure 1 shows the growth of 357 boys who in lter life were either dmitted to hospitl with coronry hert disese or died from it [1]. They belong to cohort of 4630 men who were born in Helsinki during , nd their growth is expressed s stndrd devition or Z-scores. The Z-score for the cohort is set t zero, nd boy mintining stedy position s lrge or smll in reltion to other boys would follow horizontl pth on the figure. However, boys who lter developed coronry hert disese were smll t birth, remined smll in infncy, but hd ccelerted gin in weight nd body mss index (BMI) therefter. By contrst, their heights remined below verge, which is consistent with the known ssocition between coronry hert disese nd short dult stture [4]. Findings in girls re similr but mong those who lter developed coronry hert disese ccelerted weight gin begn round the ge of four yers. Tble 1 shows hzrd rtios for coronry hert disese ccording to size t birth [1]. The hzrd rtios fll with incresing birthweight nd, more strongly, with incresing ponderl index (birthweight/length 3 ), mesure of thinness t birth. These trends were found in bbies born t term or Stndrd devition (Z)-score Cohort Age (yers) BMI Weight Height TRENDS in Endocrinology & Metbolism Fig. 1.

Tble 2 shows tht the hzrd rtios lso fell with incresing weight, height nd BMI t ge one yer. Low weight gin during infncy predicts coronry hert disese independently of size t birth. In simultneous nlysis with birthweight the hzrd rtio ssocited with ech unit decrese in Z-score for weight between birth nd one yer ws 1.21 (95% CI, , P = 0.001). The ssocition between coronry hert disese nd smll size t birth hs been shown in studies in Europe, North Americ nd Indi [5 9]. The ssocition with poor weight gin in infncy ws first shown in study of 5654 men born in Hertfordshire during [5], nd confirmed in Helsinki [1], the strength of the ssocition being similr in the two studies. Tble 3, bsed on the sme dt used in Fig. 1, shows the combined effects of ponderl index t birth nd chnge in BMI between one nd 11 yers of ge [1]. The tble uses BMI t ge 11 yers, but the BMI t ges round this gives similr results. Boys who hd low ponderl index t birth incresed their risk of coronry hert disese if their body mss rose in childhood. The interction between ponderl index t birth nd BMI in childhood is highly sttisticlly significnt. Findings mong girls re similr. In both sexes the risk of coronry hert disese is determined more by the tempo of weight gin thn the body size ttined [10] /02/$ see front mtter 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Growth nd hypertension nd type 2 dibetes There is now substntil body of evidence showing tht people who were smll t birth remin biologiclly different to people who were lrger. The differences include n incresed susceptibility to hypertension nd type 2 dibetes mellitus (T2DM), two disorders tht re closely linked to coronry hert disese [11 15] nd which re ssocited with the Tble 2.

The risks for ech disese fll with incresing birthweight nd rise with incresing childhood BMI. Similr to coronry hert disese, risk is not determined only by the bsolute vlue of BMI in childhood but by the combintion of body size t birth nd during childhood [11,13]. It is the tempo of growth in ddition to the ttined body size tht determines risk. There is lso substntil literture showing tht birthweight is ssocited with differences in blood pressure nd insulin secretion within the norml rnge [14,15]. These differences re found in children nd dults but they tend to be smll. For exmple, 1-kg difference in birthweight is ssocited with ~1 2 mm Hg difference in systolic pressure [15]. This contrsts with the lrge effects of birthweight on hypertension. In the Helsinki cohort born , the cumultive incidence of hypertension requiring mediction fell from 20.2% in men nd women weighing <3000 g t birth to 12.3% in those weighing >4000 g [16]. Biologicl mechnisms The ssocition between ltered growth nd coronry hert disese hs led to the suggestion tht the disese might originte in two phenomen ssocited with development developmentl, or phenotypic plsticity nd compenstory growth. Phenotypic plsticity is the phenomenon whereby one genotype gives rise to rnge of different physiologicl or morphologicl sttes in response to different environmentl conditions during development [17]. Such gene environment interctions re ubiquitous in development. Their existence is demonstrted by the numerous experiments showing tht minor ltertions to the diets of pregnnt nimls, which my not even chnge their offspring s body size t birth, cn produce lsting chnges in their physiology nd metbolism including ltered blood pressure nd glucose/insulin nd lipid metbolism [18,19]. Evidence of gene nutrient interctions in the genesis of type 2 dibetes is beginning to pper [20]. The effects of polymorphism of the gene encoding peroxisome prolifertor-ctivted receptor γ2 (PPARG2) depends on birthweight, which serves s mrker for intruterine nutrition. It hs been suggested tht the Pro12Al polymorphism of the gene increses tissue sensitivity to insulin nd

Tble 4 is bsed on study of 476 elderly people in Helsinki. The Pro12Al polymorphism only influenced fsting plsm insulin concentrtions in men nd women who hd low birthweight. As hs been shown mny times, low birthweight ws ssocited with rised plsm insulin concentrtions, indicting insulin resistnce. This, however, ws confined to people with the Pro12Pro polymorphism: the Pro 12Al polymorphism protected ginst the effect. The interction between the effects of the gene nd of birthweight ws sttisticlly significnt (P = 0.03). When undernutrition during development is followed by improved nutrition, mny nimls stge ccelerted or compenstory growth in weight or length. This restores the niml s body size but might hve long-term costs, which include reduced lifespn [21]. There re severl possible mechnisms by which reduced fetl nd infnt growth followed by ccelerted weight gin in childhood might led to coronry hert disese. Bbies who re thin t birth lck muscle, deficiency tht will persist becuse the crucil period for muscle growth is ~30 weeks in utero, nd there is little cell repliction fter birth [22]. If they gin weight rpidly in childhood, they re lible to put on ft rther thn muscle, leding to disproportiontely high ft mss in lter life. This might be ssocited with the development of insulin resistnce becuse children nd dults who hd low birthweight but re currently hevy re insulin resistnt [14,23,24]. Another mechnism linking retrded erly growth followed by compenstory growth with lter disese is through the effect of growth on the kidney. Smll Tble 5. Hzrd rtios (95% CI) for coronry hert disese ccording to ponderl index t birth nd txble income in dult life Household income 1000 mrks (pounds sterling) per yer Ponderl index (kg m 3 ) <26.0 (n = 1475) >26.0 (n = 2154) >140 (15 700) (0.65 to 2.19) (15 700) 1.54 (0.83 to 2.87) 1.42 (0.78 to 2.57) (12 400) 1.07 (0.51 to 2.22) 1.66 (0.90 to 3.07) (10 700) 2.07 (1.13 to 3.79) 1.44 (0.79 to 2.62) 75 (8 400) 2.58 (1.45 to 4.60) 1.37 (0.75 to 2.51) P for trend < bbies hve reduced numbers of nephrons [25,26]. It hs been suggested tht this leds to hyperperfusion of ech nephron nd consequent glomerulr sclerosis. Rpid childhood growth is thought to increse the hyperperfusion. Aging brings nephron loss, nephron deth nd cycle of incresing blood pressure, glomerulr sclerosis nd nephron deth is initited, leding to the development of hypertension. This frmework fits with the hypothesis tht essentil hypertension is disorder of growth with two seprte mechnisms, growth-promoting process in childhood nd self-perpetuting mechnism, which might be initited erly but cts in dult life [27]. The existence of such self-perpetuting cycles, initited in utero, but triggered by ging or other influences in lter life, would explin the smll effects of birth size on blood pressure levels in the norml popultion, but its lrge effects on the risk of hypertension [16]. Findings in Hertfordshire suggest tht one of the mechnisms linking poor weight gin in infncy with coronry hert disese is ltered liver function, reflected in rised serum concentrtions of totl nd low density lipoprotein cholesterol, nd rised plsm fibrinogen concentrtions [28,29]. Unlike orgns such s the kidney, the liver remins plstic during its development until the ge of round five yers. Its function might be permnently chnged by influences tht ffect its erly growth [30 32]. Support for n importnt role for liver development in the erly pthogenesis of coronry hert disese comes from findings in Sheffield [33]. Among men nd women reduced bdominl circumference t birth, mesure tht reflects reduced liver size, gve stronger predictions of lter serum cholesterol nd plsm fibrinogen thn ny other mesure of body size t birth. Responses to dult living stndrds Observtions on nimls show tht the environment during development permnently chnges not only the body s structure nd function but lso its responses to environmentl influences encountered in lter life [34]. Tble 5 shows the effect of low income in dult life on coronry hert disese mong men in Helsinki [35]. As expected, men who hd low txble income hd higher rtes of the disese [36,37]. There is no greed explntion for this nd it is mjor component of the socil inequlities in helth in Western countries. However, the effect of low income is confined to men who hd slow fetl growth nd were thin t birth, defined by ponderl index <26 kg m 3. Men who were not thin t birth were resilient to the effects of low income on coronry hert disese, so tht there ws sttisticlly significnt interction between the effects of fetl growth nd dult income (P = 0.005). One explntion of these findings emphsizes the psychosocil consequences of low position in the socil hierrchy, s indicted by low income nd socil clss, nd suggests tht perceptions of low socil sttus nd lck of success led to chnges in

4 Review 367 neuroendocrine pthwys nd hence to disese [38]. The findings in Helsinki seem consistent with this. People who re smll t birth re known to hve persisting ltertions in responses to stress, including rised serum cortisol concentrtions [39]. It is suggested tht persisting smll elevtions of cortisol concentrtions over mny yers might hve effects similr to those seen when tumours led to more sudden, lrge increses in glucocorticoid concentrtions. People with Cushing s syndrome re insulin resistnt nd hve rised blood pressure. Interctions New studies, especilly those of the two exceptionlly well-documented cohorts in Helsinki, incresingly suggest tht coronry hert disese nd the disorders relted to it develop through series of interctions. The effects of genes re conditioned by fetl growth [20]: the effects of smll body size t birth re conditioned by growth during childhood [1], nd by living conditions in childhood [16] nd dult life [35]. Any one influence, such s low income, does not hve single quntifible risk ssocited with it. Its risk to n individul is conditioned by events t erlier crucil stges of development. This embodies the concept of development switches triggered by the environment. Sttements such s low birthweight explins only smll proportion of dibetes [40] re incorrect. The results in Tbles 1 5 show tht the lrge effects [41] of smll body size t birth extend cross the rnge of birthweight nd re not confined to those conventionlly described s hving low birthweight, <2.5 kg (5.5 lb). The effects of birthweight cnnot be quntified s smll proportion or lrge proportion. Fetl life is n importnt phse in brnching pth of development. The brnchings re triggered by the environment nd determine the vulnerbility of ech individul to wht lies hed. Birthweight, lthough convenient mrker in epidemiologicl studies, is n indequte description of the phenotypic chrcteristics of bby tht determine its long-term helth. The wrtime fmine in Hollnd produced lifelong insulin resistnce in bbies who were in utero t the time, with little ltertion in birthweight [42]. In bbies, s in children, slowing of growth is response to poor environment, but it does not describe the morphologicl nd physiologicl consequences [43]. The sme birthweight cn be ttined by mny different pths of fetl growth nd ech is probbly ccompnied by different gene environment interctions. Conclusion The ssocitions between slow fetl, infnt nd childhood growth nd lter coronry hert disese re strong nd grded. Boys who t birth hd ponderl index bove 26 kg m 3 nd who t one yer of ge were bove the cohort verge for BMI (17.7 kg m 3 ) nd height (76.2 cm) were t hlf the risk of developing coronry hert disese before the ge of 65 yers [1]. Such findings confirm the strong effects of erly growth on lter disese [41]. The principl determinnt of growth rtes in erly life is the vilbility of nutrition [43]. As yet, we do not know the impct of mternl nutrition on fetl nutrition. However, it is becoming cler tht the concept of mternl nutrition must be extended beyond the mother s diet in pregnncy to include her body composition nd metbolism both during pregnncy nd t the time of conception [44]. Moreover, birthweight is n indequte summry mesure of fetl experience, nd we need more sophisticted view of optiml fetl development, which tkes ccount of the long-term sequele of fetl responses to undernutrition.

This ws bsed on observtions in the UK nd Sweden tht deth rtes in specific ge groups depended more upon the dte of birth of individuls thn upon the yer under considertion [1]. Further evidence for the importnce of the erly environment cme from study by Forsdhl et l. [2], who looked t geogrphicl vritions in current deth rtes from rteriosclerotic hert disese in Norwy. This showed tht there ws significnt positive correltion between these current deth rtes nd geogrphicl vrition in pst infnt mortlity rtes. No such reltionship ws observed with current infnt mortlity rtes [2]. Similrly, it ws subsequently shown tht the geogrphicl pttern of mortlity from crdiovsculr disese (CVD) in Englnd nd Wles ws relted to mternl nd neontl mortlity erlier in the century [3]. The hypothesis tht this pttern could be explined by reltionship between poor nutrition in fetl nd erly life nd CVD ws supported by study of men in Englnd for whom birthweight records were vilble: men of low birthweight nd low weight t one yer of ge experienced incresed deth rtes from ischemic hert disese lter in life [4].

In light of this informtion nd the findings of epidemiologicl studies, reltionship between erly growth nd the subsequent development of glucose intolernce nd type 2 dibetes mellitus (T2DM) ws sought, initilly in group of men in Hertfordshire, UK.
