Famine exposure during early life development can affect disease risk in late-life period, yet, transmission of phenotypic features from famine-exposed individuals to the next generations has not been well characterized. The purpose of our case-control study was to investigate the association of parental starvation in the perinatal period and the period of early childhood with the phenotypic features observed in two generations of descendants of Leningrad siege survivors. We examined 54 children and 30 grandchildren of 58 besieged Leningrad residents who suffered from starvation in early childhood and prenatal age during the Second World War.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular health and telomere length in Leningrad siege survivors from their early childhood, comparing them to a control group.
- Researchers examined 305 survivors and 51 matched individuals using various health assessments and blood tests.
- Findings showed that while survivors had lower body measurements and better HDL levels, they experienced significantly shorter telomeres, indicating accelerated aging, but no difference in cardiovascular diseases between the two groups.
