Using Survey on Health and Well-Being of Elders data (SABE; n = 10,902), the authors estimated effects of early childhood conditions on adult diabetes and heart disease. Using Waaler-type surfaces, the authors obtained expected mortality risks for SABE and also U.S. elderly (Health and Retirement System, n = 12,527). Expected mortality risks using Waaler-type surfaces among elderly in LAC reflected excesses supporting our conjecture. There was partial evidence of a relation between various indicators of early childhood nutritional status (knee height, waist-to-hip ratio) and diabetes and even stronger evidence of a relation between rheumatic fever and adult heart disease. There is some evidence, albeit weak, to suggest that the conjecture regarding elderly health status\u2019 connection to early conditions has some merit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0898264305285664","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,13]],"date-time":"2006-04-13T16:54:39Z","timestamp":1144947279000},"page":"180-206","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["The Tide to Come"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Palloni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin\u2014Madison"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"McEniry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin\u2014Madison"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebeca","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martha","family":"Pel\u00e1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pan American Health Organization"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Life course perspectives on coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes: Key issues and implications for policy and research report","author":"Aboderin, I.","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0278-6133.19.6.586"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Obesidad: Un desafio pendiente [Obesity: A looming challenge]","author":"Albala, C.","year":"2000"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0032472031000143836"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"Mothers, babies and health in later life","author":"Barker, D.
