Common and Distinct Influences of Prenatal and Postnatal Early-Life Adversity on Epigenomic Trajectories in Mexican American Children
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE In the U.S., the childhood obesity epidemic disproportionally impacts minority communities, particularly Hispanic children. Minority populations face multiple psychosocial stressors at the individual, household and community level that are associated with increased obesity risk. This research will establish the biological embedment of early-life adversity at the individual, household and community level on epigenetic marks, with the goal of developing early-life biomarkers of risk.
