Is a thin phenotype protective for impaired glucose tolerance and related to low birth weight in mice?
Our data suggest that alterations in early postnatal nutrition are associated with prevention of weight gain and the development of IGT in low-birth-weight mice.
Poorer physical functioning that accompanies multimorbidity is persistent and may even increase over time. People, who acquire one or more diseases during the 3-year follow-up, already showed poorer physical functioning at baseline compared to people who remained healthy during these years. Post-hoc analyses, using the SCL-90 as an outcome measure, did show that multimorbidity was related to depressive and anxiety complaints. However, these complaints seem to decline over time.
