Key life course concepts can be summarized as follows:

 Today’s experiences influence tomorrow’s health.  (Timeline)

 • Health trajectories are particularly affected during critical periods, such as early childhood.  (Timing)

 • The broader environment strongly affects the capacity to be healthy.  (Environment)

 • Equality in preventive health and health care access reflects more than genetics and personal choice.  (Equity)
