Abstract Besides the impact of direct environmental factors, the occurrence of non‐communicable adult disease is determined by non‐genetic and genetic developmental factors. The broad developmental categories, developmental programing and genetic variation are often viewed as being independent of each other. The object of this review, focusing on hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, is to identify interaction between genetic and non‐genetic developmental factors influencing risk factors that can contribute to the occurrence of non‐communicable adult disease.
