Document Summary
Differences between male and female life histories: adaptations/scheduling in usage of nutrients maximizes the transmission of genes to future generations, males and females use nutrients differently different nutrient scheduling. Alternative allocation of energy and nutrients: there are metabolic adaptations - we"re interested in how this works for humans. Additional variation in response to environmental cues. Developmental origins of adult disease; programming: flux of nutrients you"re exposed to during the developmental period is a powerful determinant to how your nutrient scheduling works in the future called programming. Transgenerational effects: specifically through female lineage, nutritional exposures of girl children influences things like metabolic programming of their offspring and birth weight which ultimately affects future generations. Special significance of girl child and women"s nutrition. Significance of secular trends in life history patterns. The processes of maturation and developing gender identity. Period between appearance of 2ndary sexual characteristics and completion of skeletal growth. The following factors allow an individual to develop self concept .
