Causal Association Between Birth Weight and Adult Diseases: Evidence From a Mendelian Randomization Analysis

10 Jul 2019

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: Birth weight has a profound long-term impact on individual’s predisposition to various diseases at adulthood — a hypothesis commonly referred to as the fetal origins of adult diseases. However, it is not fully clear to what extent the fetal origins of adult diseases hypothesis holds and it is also not completely known what types of adult diseases are causally affected by birth weight. Materials and...
