Just consider this—if a set of records of development and illnesses from birth till 1 year age taken at regular intervals in the 1930s in Hertfordshire, UK, could lead to DOHAD 50 years on, one can only wonder what all might not be unearthed by analysing long-term clinical data of a more detailed nature. The results should not only benefit the patients themselves but influence the management of generations long into the future as well.
