Parents’ Growth in Childhood and the Birth Weight of Their Offspring

1 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A person's birth weight is inversely related to both their own and their parents' cardiovascular disease mortality risk, but mechanisms underlying such transgenerational associations are unclear. We investigated the influence of the childhood growth of the mother or father on the birth weight of their first-born offspring. METHODS: We used data from the long-term follow up (in 1997-1998) of 4999...
