Objectives Contents The course describes the role of the placenta in the programming of human development through the introduction of the concept of fetal origin of adult disease (FOAD). The FOAD hypothesis argues that events during early development have a profound impact on the infant's risk of developing future adult disease. Low birth weight, a surrogate marker for poor fetal growth and nutrition, is linked to coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance. The implications of FOAD extend beyond the low birth weight population and include children exposed to stress, both nutritional and non-nutritional, during several critical developmental periods, which ultimately result in a state of disease.
