However, an increasing number of children in poor, low-income areas in underdeveloped and developing countries are exhibiting conditions characteristic of hypertension. Barker's fetal origins framework hypothesizes that hypertension (and other cardiovascular and metabolic diseases) is a deleterious adaptation by the fetus as a result of restricted intrauterine growth stemming from maternal undernutrition that affect the functionality and structure of key organs responsible for blood pressure regulation while also remaining small resulting in LBW or being born small. This paper will systematically review contemporary literature that discuss hypertension and other associated risk factors as an outcome of LBW among children from underdeveloped and developing countries and will conclude with recommendations that attempt to assist future research efforts.

Polyphenols can be found in a wide range of foods that are derived from plants. Polyphenols are made up of various subgroups, but it's the phenolics, stillbenes, and flavonoids that engender positive impacts on cardiovascular health. These three phytochemical compounds can reduce cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Remarkably, polyphenols and its subgroups can be found ubiquitously in most human diets. As a result, many studies have effectively illustrated the positive impacts polyphenols can induce when processed by the human body. Furthermore, research efforts have shown that modern diets and more "traditional" diets have unknowingly promoted the consumption of foods rife with polyphenols. These findings are starting to be incorporated into the public health discipline as a more practical option for more sustainable nutritional interventions. In all, polyphenols can produce a myriad of positive developments on at the micro and macro level.

This study proved through empirical evidence that Cal Pacific's establishment of a new and diverse customer base, after being founded, paved the way for the vast success of the company in past years. The sales reports, balance sheets, income statements, and depth interview responses exemplify the correlation of Cal Pacific's success to its customer base. As a result of the Company having many customers, sales increases were recorded and exemplified in the sales reports. Sales increases occurred over multiple one year periods. Overall firm value has been vastly expanded since the Company's establishment, and the analysis presented in this study highlighted how customer satisfaction will undoubtedly lead to repeat business and increased volume in terms of orders; as long as order specifications and requirements are met by Cal Pacific. Hypothesis two did not test true as a result of the calculations. The covariance of all sales in 2009 was greater than the covariance of all sales in 2004. However, the difference was minimal since 2009's covariance of all sales was only 0.2699027 greater than the covariance of all sales in 2004. Hypothesis three also did not test true as result of the calculations. The standard deviation of all sales in 2009 was greater than the standard deviation of all sales in 2004. All statistical testing was conducted using formulas shown in Ch. 4. If this study were to continue, more attention would be paid to marketing tactics and other strategies used in the past by Cal Pacific that also have had an impact on the success of the firm and the sustainability of the business.
