Birth Weight Predicts Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Within Dizygotic but Not Monozygotic Twin Pairs

1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The widely reported inverse association between birth weight and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has sparked theories about early life determinants of adult disease. Within-twin-pair analysis provides a unique opportunity to investigate whether factors shared within twin pairs influence the association. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a population-based cohort of like-sexed twins with known zygosity born...
