Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Accelerated infant growth is a possible explanation for the relation between birth weight and adult diseases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of infant growth and to examine whether the genetic contribution changes with increasing or decreasing birth weight and gestational age. DESIGN: Growth (change in weight z score) was analyzed in 522 infants from the East...
