Topic: The Long-term Health Effects of Fetal Malnutrition: Evidence from the 1959-1961 China Great Leap Forward Famine
Abstract：We report evidence of long-term adverse health impacts of fetal malnutrition exposure of middle-aged survivors of the 1959-1961 China Famine using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. We find that fetal exposure to malnutrition has large and long-lasting impacts on both physical health and cognitive abilities, including the risks of suffering a stroke, physical disabilities in speech, walking and vision, and measures of mental acuity even half a century after the tragic event. Our findings imply that policies and programs that improve the nutritional status of pregnant women yield benefits on the health of a fetus that extend through the life cycle in the form of reduced physical and mental impairment.
Speaker: Belton Fleisher received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1961. He was the University of Chicago faculty from 1961 to 1965 and joined the Ohio State University faculty in 1965, where he is a professor emeritus of economics. He taught in the “Ford Class” at Renmin University of China in 1989 and 1990. He is a Senior Fellow of the China Center for Human Capital and Labor Market Research at the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing and Senior Fellow of the Center for Economics, Finance, and Management Studies at Hunan University in Changsha and serves as Executive Editor of China Economic Review.
