This then established the relationship between neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) and a number of children's health and developmental outcomes.9 Longitudinal research suggested structural characteristics such as poverty and demography were mediated through community - level social processes that influenced the functioning of families and children.10, 11 Today, however, there is still limited understanding of the
modifiable community - level
factors likely to benefit outcomes for young children despite socioecological frameworks suggesting there are multiple levels of influence (individual, family, community) on
early child development (ECD).12, 13 Investigating these influences is thought best undertaken through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods that can test these multiple influences on ECD.14, 15
Interventions targeting
modifiable risk
factors (eg, smoking, inactivity, and poor diet) in adult life have only limited efficacy in preventing age - related disease.3, 4 Because of the increasing recognition that preventable risk exposures in
early life may contribute to pathophysiological processes leading to age - related disease, 5,6 the science of aging has turned to a life - course perspective.7, 8 Capitalizing on this perspective, this study tested the contribution of adverse psychosocial experiences in childhood to 3 adult conditions that are known to predict age - related diseases: depression, inflammation, and the clustering of metabolic risk markers, hereinafter referred to as age - related - disease risks.
Several
modifiable risk or protective
factors have been identified, such as infant feeding mode (bottle vs breastfeeding), parental responsiveness to infant feeding cues and infant distress, the age of bottle weaning, timing of the introduction of solid food, sweetened beverage consumption and lack of physical activity.84 — 88 Inactivity can delay motor development and further increases the risk for
early childhood obesity.85 89 — 91
Treatment needs to be targeted at major
modifiable risk
factors and its outcome measured objectively.26 It should preferably be at an

early, 5 has high continuity, 27 is amenable to treatment at a young age, 4 and is very hard to eradicate in older children.28 In this section I discuss interventions for general aggressiveness only in children under 12; interventions targeting youth crime have been excellently reviewed by Farrington.29
