The Association Between Low Birth Weight and Type 2 Diabetes

11 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Low birth weight has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Poor fetal nutrition has been suggested to explain this association. Our objective was to determine whether genetic factors contribute to the association between low birth weight and subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We retrieved information from original birth records on same-sex Swedish twins with...
