Increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide reduce the mineral content but increase the levels of starch and sugars found in crop plants; which could exacerbate both obesity and malnutrition in some human populations.

In a randomized controlled trial in rural Bangladesh, an intensive, combined water, sanitation, handwashing, and nutrition intervention delivered to compounds of newborn children increased telomere length attrition during their first year of life.

Since the Industrial Revolution, normal body temperature in both men and women has decreased monotonically by 0.03°C per birth decade.

Height in early adulthood is an indicator that integrates across different dimensions of sustainable human development with links to health and longevity, nutrition, education and economic productivity.

Effects of dietary lipids on organismal function and reproductive fitness are persistent and may depend on lipid identity, cause the evolution of lipid-based diet choice, alter food webs, change species responses to environmental change, and affect human nutrition.

259 CpGs associated with season of conception in rural Gambians constitute a valuable resource for investigating epigenetic mechanisms linking early exposures to lifelong health and disease.

Histone H3T11 phosphorylation regulates chronological lifespan by linking nutritional stress-response signals to chromatin.

Protein nutritional requirements decrease predictively with mass throughout ontogeny across the animal kingdom.

Plants show a high level of genetic diversity in their response to elevated CO₂, suggesting the presence of genetic mechanisms that will allow them to adapt to this environmental change.

Juvenile and adult metabolism are constrained from evolving independently from each other even in a species that lacks developmental continuity between juvenile and adult organs.
