Implications of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease concept for policy-making
Implications of the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease concept for policy-making
With the rising burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally and recognition that NCD risk can be transmitted across generations, there is an increasing reason for the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease concept to inform international policies and guidelines. However, the concept has not yet been widely adopted in national policies and health care settings. Appropriate dissemination of evidence and possible solutions to the challenge of NCDs is needed to build awareness among stakeholders and policy-makers. In this article, we consider the key messages from the field of developmental origins of health and disease and how they are communicated to stakeholders and policy-makers, emphasising the need for population-level interventions to be communicated in a socially just and nonstigmatising manner.

Abstract
With the rising burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally and recognition that NCD risk can be transmitted across generations, there is an increasing reason for the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease concept to inform international policies and guidelines. However, the concept has not yet been widely adopted in national policies and health care settings. Appropriate dissemination of evidence and possible solutions to the challenge of NCDs is needed to build awareness among stakeholders and policy-makers. In this article, we consider the key messages from the field of developmental origins of health and disease and how they are communicated to stakeholders and policy-makers, emphasising the need for population-level interventions to be communicated in a socially just and nonstigmatising manner.
