Foundations of healthy development, and the origins of many impairments, can be biologically embedded through gene-environment interactions beginning at conception and continuing throughout the early year of life. Most cost-effective way to bring about improvements in health is to focus effort on the prenatal and early childhood periods of development. Efforts might include formation and implementation of policies/strategies that reduce disruptive effects of prolo(cid:374)ged a(cid:374)d i(cid:374)te(cid:374)se di(cid:448)ersit(cid:455) i(cid:374) earl(cid:455) childhood (cid:894)(cid:858)to(cid:454)ic stress(cid:859)(cid:895) Women produce one ovum each month from one of her 2 ovaries, midway between menstrual periods.
