The effect of family influences during youth and early adolescence on later young adult inflammatory processes are anticipated by predictive adaptive response (PAR) models (Gluckman et al., 2005; Rickard and Lummaa, 2007), which note that if earlier family circumstances signal increased probability of future injury and / or pathogen exposure, it is potentially adaptive to prepare a developing young person to have greater inflammatory response potential (cf. Cole et al., 2011).
