SEP Gradients in Health: Social Determinants to Early Development• ubiquitous in wealthy and majority world countries
by income, education, or occupation• cuts across a wide range of disease processes• not explained by traditional risk factors• replicates itself on new conditions as they emerge• occurs among males and females• begins life as gradient in ‘developmental health’
with life course persistence and ‘flattening up’

Biological embedding occurs when • experience gets under the skin and alters human
biodevelopment;• systematic differences in experience in different
social environments lead to different biodevelopmental states;
• the differences are stable and long-term;they influence health, well-being, learning, and/or behaviour over the life course.

It does not only occur during basic fetal development, when cells are specializing……it can continue after birth and be influenced by the broader environment!
What’s new about this?

1958 British Birth Cohort Study
(Int J Epid, March 2012)
• 40 adult males selected from SES extremes in both childhood and adulthood
• Genome-wide methylation analysis from blood DNA at 45 years of age
• 20,000 gene promoter regions
![Page 29: Clyde Hertzman, MD Human Early Learning Partnership University of British Columbia, Vancouver](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070501/5681697d550346895de18d11/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Methylation levels for 1,252 promoters associated with childhood SEP
Methylation levels for 1,141 promoters associated with childhood abuse
But only approx. 80 promoters associated with maternal smoking during pregnancy!

• Differential methylation of multiple CpG sites by parental stress in infancy and preschool
• Mothers’ stressors in infancy more related to differences in methylation for both girls and boys
• Fathers’ stressors in preschool associated with methylation differences primarily for girls
• A pattern commensurate with prior knowledge of maternal v paternal and gender-specific influences on development

2011: Biological Embedding becomes Conventional Wisdom
“A scientific consensus is emerging that the origins of adult disease are often found among developmental and biological disruptions occurring during the early years of life. These early experiences can affect adult health in two ways – either by cumulative damage over time or by the biological embedding of adversities during sensitive developmental periods……..”
(Leckman JF, March JS. Editorial: Developmental neuroscience comes of age. J Child Psychol Psychiatr. 2011;52(4):333-8.)
