| Research Abstract |
Disease model of life style related disease was examined by literature reviews. Risk factors, which were identified by many literatures, were rearranged in the right of life course epidemiology, especially intergenerational transmission. The concept and definition of intergenerational transmission was not always clear. Health capitals, including risk factors of diseases, and traits of parents were transmitted to their offspring through not only by genetic, transmission, but non-genetic environmental factors, or gene-environmental correlation. The mechanisms of this transmission seemed to be very complicated. The arrangement of the concept and definition of intergenerational transmission of disease, and detailed clarification of these mechanisms was the next step of this research.
