A syndemic perspective on food insecurity, gestational diabetes, and mental health disorders during pregnancy
Playing it safe? An evolutionary life history theory perspective on Canadian adolescent play during the Covid-19 pandemic
Playing during adolescence is hypothesized to prepare young people to respond to unexpected future challenges. But, when extrinsic environmental risks are high, adolescents are expected to prioritize immediate-payoff behaviours over playing. It is unclear, though, how an ecological shock like a spike in community spread of a potentially deadly virus might affect adolescent play. Using data from a socio-demographically-diverse sample of 460 Canadi…
Resilience in adolescence during the Covid-19 crisis in Canada
Support for youth during times of crisis is essential to future population health because adolescence is a period in the life course which shapes the health behaviours, socio-economic capacities, and neurophysiology of these future parents/carers and leaders. Efforts to promote resilience in adolescents should leverage the factors identified above: helping them find structure and senses of purpose through strong social connections, well-supported…
Investigating the normalization and normative views of gestational weight gain
Objectives Gestational weight gain (GWG) is increasingly monitored in the United States and Canada. While promoting healthy GWG offers benefits, there may be costs with over‐surveillance. We aimed to explore these costs/benefits. Methods Quantitative data from 350 pregnant survey respondents and qualitative focus group data from 43 pregnant/post‐partum and care‐provider participants were collected in the Mothers to Babies (M2B) study in Hamilton,…
Synergies between the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework and multiple branches of evolutionary anthropology
The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis derives from the epidemiological and basic/mechanistic health sciences. This well‐supported hypothesis holds that environment during the earliest stages of life—pre‐conception, pregnancy, infancy—shapes developmental trajectories and ultimately health outcomes across the lifespan. Evolutionary anthropologists from multiple subdisciplines are embracing synergies between the DOHaD f…
Addressing embodied inequities in health
Objective: To disrupt cycles of health inequity, traceable to dietary inequities in the earliest stages of life, public health interventions should target improving nutritional wellbeing in preconception/pregnancy environments. This requires a deep engagement with pregnant/postpartum people (PPP) and their communities (including their health and social care providers, HSCP). We sought to understand the factors that influence diet during pregnancy…
Knowledge about the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease is independently associated with variation in diet quality during pregnancy
Environmental factors affecting development through embryogenesis, pregnancy, and infancy impact health through all subsequent stages of life. Known as the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis, this concept is widely accepted among health and social scientists. However, it is unclear whether DOHaD-based ideas are reaching the general public and/or influencing behaviour. This study thus investigated whether and under what…
