DOHaD – Early Life Solutions to the Modern Health Crisis

Top Rated5(1 reviews)

DOHaD – Early Life Solutions to the Modern Health Crisis is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed to explore the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) framework and its role in understanding the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This course examines how early life environmental exposures, nutrition, inflammation, lifestyle, and social determinants influence long-term health outcomes across the lifespan. Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, and mental health conditions are increasing globally. Emerging evidence suggests that many chronic diseases may begin early in life, with prenatal and childhood exposures shaping immune function, metabolism, and inflammatory responses.
