A Life Course Approach to the Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases and Ageing
A Life Course Approach to the Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases and Ageing, Third Edition outlines how biological and social factors during gestation, childhood, adolescence and earlier adult life influence later life health and disease.
