Early life famine exposure was closely related to sarcopenia, hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in later life, and the impact of famine exposure on females seems to be more significant than males. This study might provide evidence of long-term famine effects on body composition. ABSTRACT The relationship between the famine and metabolic syndrome has been reported,
