Rehab News: Famine linked to addiction risk in offspring

Researchers have found a possible link between babies conceived during a period of famine and the risk of developing addictions later in life.

It has been found that those whose mothers had suffered severe food shortages and starvation during their early pregnancy were significantly more likely to be receiving treatment for addictive disorders, such as alcoholism.

New research published in the international journal Addiction by researchers from the Dutch mental health care organisation, Bouman GGZ, and Erasmus University Rotterdam studied men and women born in Rotterdam between 1944 and 1947, the time of the Dutch 'hunger winter'.

The hunger winter lasted from mid-October 1944 until May 12th 1945 when the German authorities imposed a total embargo on occupied Netherlands.

Food rations declined to extremely low levels between February and May 1945 resulting in a starvation peak when the average daily food consumption dropped to below 1,000 calories.

Ernst Franzek, the lead author of the study, said: "Exposure to famine beyond the first three months did not result in a higher risk of addiction, which supports the view that the first trimester is crucial in the development of the reward system in the human brain that is involved in addictive behaviour."

He added that the research findings "point up the adverse influence of maternal malnutrition on the mental health of the adult offspring, and give rise to great concern about the possible future consequences for the hunger regions in our world".
