Familial Factors Do not Confound the Association Between Birth Weight and Childhood Asthma

28 Sept 2009

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Studies have found associations between low birth weight and asthma. However, this association could be due to familial confounding. Our objective was to investigate whether fetal growth and birth weight affect the risk of asthma in childhood, controlling for gestational age (GA), and shared (familial) environment and genetic factors. PATIENT AND METHODS: Information on asthma, zygosity, birth...
