title: [Perinatology. Fetal origin of diseases in adults].
abstract: Perinatal medicine is mostly interested in the normal development of the growing fetus. Perinatal care is becoming even more important, since a disorder in fetal development, due to an abnormal intrauterine milieu, results in problems during infancy and adult age. There is clear evidence that this is the case in diabetes and pregnancy and in intrauterine growth retardation.
