Birth weight, infant growth and insulin resistance.

European journal of endocrinology - 1 Nov 2004

Ong Ken K, Dunger David B

Abstract excerpt

Size at birth and early postnatal growth rates are important determinants of human perinatal survival; they also predict the tempo of growth, adult height and long-term risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Results from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ALSPAC) show that fetal growth is influenced by both fetal genes and maternal-uterine-placental factors. Important...
