| Popis: | Using data on 90% of the German population born 1930–1959, we investigate the long-term relationship between intra-uterine exposure to the German food crisis 1944–1948 and 16 doctor-diagnosed health conditions recorded in 2009 and 2015. Among the exposed, who are 60–70 years old in our data, we find elevated risks of being diagnosed with a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, depression, lung disease, and back pain. In terms of critical periods, malnutrition in the first trimester of pregnancy appears to have the strongest negative correlation with health at older ages. |
