Early Life Origins of Ageing and Longevity

“This book is not only concerned with ageing but more generally with adult health. This is an important topic and there are now many studies showing that improving health, particularly at old age, requires looking into what happened since the conception and even to what happened to the parents. … this book is particularly helpful for biogerontologists, but also for nutritionists and other physicians.” (Éric Le Bourg, Biogerontology, September 09, 2019)
