=== Dutch famine 1944–45 ===

In 1944–45, the German blockade of the Netherlands led to a lack of food supplies, causing the [[Dutch famine of 1944–45]]. The famine caused severe malnutrition among the population, including women in various stages of pregnancy. The Dutch Famine Birth Cohort Study examined the impact of lack of nutrition on children born during or after this famine.
