AB Reproductive  health  and  child  and  adolescent  health  and  development  are  inextricably  linked.  Declines  in  fertility  rates  often  occur  in  tandem  with  economic  and  educational  advancement  and  are  associated  with  benefits  in  child  health.  Infant  health  (in  the  first  1000  days  since  conception)  can  influence  longer-term  child,  adolescent,  and  adult  health.  Maternal  nutrition  and  quality  of  life  influences  long-term  child  outcomes.  Child  nutrition  and  infections  may  alter  neurodevelopment  and  long-term  educational  and  vocational  outcomes.  Finally,  adolescent  health  may  influence  adult  outcomes  and  reproductive  decision-making  as  well  as  next-generation  health.  Together  these  intertwined  areas  contribute  a  perspective  of  lifecycle  trajectories  that  addresses  outcomes  for  each  population  (mothers,  infants,  children,  and  adolescents)  not  in  silos—recognizing  that  each  group  has  distal  impact  on  the  other  groups  and  that  addressing  these  relationships  at  critical  windows  of  risk  (preconception  adolescence,  pregnancy,  delivery,  neonatal,  under-5,  and  teen  years)  with  tailored  interventions  could  leverage  opportunities  to  improve  outcomes  of  mother-child,  adolescent-adult,  neonate-child  (Fig.  22-1).
