ABSTRACT
Adolescence is a key developmental window of opportunity for nutrition promotion and cardiometabolic disease (CMD) prevention that can reap long-term significant health, economic and social advantages, however it is currently not a focus in the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) framework. In this perspective, we argue that adolescence should be included in the DOHaD framework, by examining current evidence on the relationship between adolescent nutrition and risk factors for CMDs, physiological mechanisms, and potential interventions.
