influence lifelong health, 1 — 4 and the link between early - life health and adult outcomes is strong and economically meaningful.5 Promotion of optimal child development and well - being comprises early detection and treatment of whole families, and it can potentially prevent the development of behavioural and emotional problems in children and adolescents.6
And infancy is one of the best windows of opportunity to
influence lifelong health.
«The data from Ryu and colleagues add to the strong and alarming evidence that sitting too much and moving too little has significant negative consequences for cardio - metabolic health,» commented Michael I.

Its strategy draws on advances in the biological, behavioral, and social sciences to: (1) identify causal mechanisms that
influence developmental trajectories; (2) formulate theories of change about how to produce better outcomes; and (3) design and test new intervention approaches and measure their effectiveness in reducing barriers to learning and strengthening the foundations of
lifelong physical and mental
health.
This strategy requires the continuous refinement of new theories of change that are grounded in a growing scientific understanding of the causal mechanisms that explain how early experiences are built into the body and
