Early Nutrition and Long-Term Health: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Opportunities

Early Nutrition and Long-Term Health: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Opportunities introduces how early life nutrition relates to function programming, covering aspects such as infant growth and cognitive development and the effects of early life nutrition on long-term general health.
