Dietary deprivation Dietary deprivation Adult-onset DM Adult-onset DM Dietary deprivation IUGR first described by James Lucas [1794]: advocated “temperance in diet, a diminution in the usual quantity and a change in the quality of food” to allow for sub-optimal growth in cases of past CPD. Also noted in situations of starvation during wartime: • Leningrad siege [1942] & Netherlands [winter 1944- 45] LBW Syndrome X [Metabolic syndrome] • NIDDM, hypertension & hyperlipidaemia • Animal experimental models – low protein isocalorific diet causes: » reduced pancreatic beta cell mass -> reduced insulin secretion » insulin target cells programmed to insulin resistance J.

METHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGY
The study looked at birth weight data of infants born at St. Luke's
Hospital during August 1967 – July 1968 to mothers themselves born
during the War period [1940-43] and to those born before [1937-39]
and after the siege [1944-45]. During the period under study Total of 1554 births.
After excluding for absent age & birth weight data, macerated stillbirths,
twins and premature deliveries; and identifying women born during the
1937-1945 Total of 724 births
1937-39 167 mothers
1940-42 243 mothers
1943-45 314 mothers
Statistical analyses: t-test comparing the differences between the means.

Maltese women born during the period of the Second World War were more likely to
have infants of 3.3-4.2% higher birth weights than women from before and after the conflict.
Every man is some months elder than he bethinks him; for we live, move, have a being and are subject to the actions of the elements and the malice of disease in that other World, the truest Microcosm, the Womb of our Mother.
