  16. Summary: By following individuals through their lives, we are building evidence on : • the childhood origins of some adult health outcomes (partly through developmental trajectories) • the timing and sequence of risks /processes that lead to social inequalities in adult health. Policy implications can be specific to outcome, but generally: child development needs to be optimum because of its • immediate impact on health • potential to affect later health.
