being.

Social exposures
Essentially, anything outside of ourselves.
Exposures that are shared with others.

Obesity is a global problem
![Page 22: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Obesity is a global problem

Obesity is viewed as a purely individual level problem.
![Page 24: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
We know environment matters…
• The suddenness of the obesity pandemic precludes changing biology as an explanation.
![Page 25: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
But why is there so much variation in body size, even among people sharing an environment?
![Page 26: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Small size at birth and later central adiposity

Famine studies• Dutch hunger winter (1944-1945)
Military conscripts whose mother experienced the famine during the second half of pregnancy were less likely to be obese.

Where is the interaction with environment?
![Page 31: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

So how can we more rigorously test the mismatch hypothesis in humans?
• Look for interactions between fetal exposures and post-natal environments.
• Move away from birth weight as a proxy measure of the fetal environment.

The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey
• A single stage cluster sampling procedure was used to randomly select 33 administratively defined communities called barangays.
![Page 38: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey
• Pregnant women residing in these barangays were recruited for the study in 1982 and 1983, and those who gave birth between May 1, 1983, and April 30, 1984, were included in the sample.
![Page 39: Life course epidemiology](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103110/547c6ee4b4af9fc3588b464d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey
A baseline interview was conducted among 3,327 women during their 6th or 7th month of pregnancy.
• Another survey took place immediately after birth; there were 3,080 non-twin live births which make up the CLHNS birth cohort.

The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey
• Subsequent surveys were conducted bi-monthly to age 2, then in 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2005.

The Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey
• Detailed data on the birth cohort, their mothers, and the barangays they live in.

Interactions• We must “investigate more carefully the extent
of interactions between characteristics of individuals and the features of places associated with varying health risks” (Cummins, Curtis, Diez-Roux, & Macintyre, 2007).
• SES interacted with Urbanicity
