Health: Are the dice rolled before ten years of age?

(Université de Genève) Researchers at UNIGE found that socio-economically disadvantaged individuals in childhood are a greater risk of low muscle strength at an older age. Moreover, this risk is not offset by an improvement in their socio-economic status as adults. This means that inequalities in childhood are biologically embodied to literally 'get into the skin'. Why? They suggest that a physiological deregulation caused by stress in childhood might change the body's ability to maintain good health along time.
