Causal Association between Birth Weight and Adult Diseases: Evidence from a Mendelian Randomisation Analysis

2018-10-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> It has long been hypothesized that birth weight has a profound long-term impact on individual 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 af...
