Early life exposure to famine and risk of dyslipidemia in adults: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dyslipidemia is the major contributor to the global disease burden. Earlier epidemiologic research has linked early-life famine exposure to dyslipidemia and altered lipid profiles in adulthood, but a uniform perspective has yet to be established. In response, this systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed to investigate the association of early life famine exposure and dyslipidemia in adults.

Methods

Scopus, Medline and Google scholar databases were searched for articles published until October 2020. Studies of famine exposure during prenatal and early postnatal life and their association with dyslipidemia and lipid profiles in adults were included. Random effect model in the Meta-analysis and Mantel- Haenszel model was used to calculate odds ratios and their 9
