Mothers of low birth weight infants are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease in later life. It is hypothesised this reflects a combination of 1) fetal factors influencing maternal vasculature via placental implantation, which also independently affect fetal growth, and 2) confounding by genetics and/or the environment whereby women with a pre-disposed risk of cardiometabolic dysfunction may have an impaired...
