Weight to Place on Birth Weight
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1983ABSTRACT Most of our knowledge about the correlates of birth weight and perinatal morbidity derives from studies done more than a decade ago. Thus, the effort by Hackman et al to identify previously unrecognized predictors of birth weight and unfavorable pregnancy outcome, reported in this issue of The Journal (p 2016), deserves attention.

Agreement between self-reported birth weight and birth certificate weights
Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease, 2010Birth weight is emerging as a potentially important risk factor for several chronic diseases with adult onset, including breast cancer. Because participant recall is frequently used to gather data on early life exposures, it is essential that the accuracy of recall be assessed and validated.

Independent effect of maternal birth weight on infant birth weight
jpme, 1996The relationship between the birth weights of the mother and her infant was evaluated in a sample of 106 women consecutively delivered of a single live birth. Women were included in the study if their birth weight was available in hospital files or from another reliable source. Women that were themselves a twin or had diseases complicated the course of

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1966
MANY infants who are small at birth have simply not remained in the uterus long enough to achieve expected size. In such cases it is assumed that maternofetal relations have been normal until the occurrence of an event or the development of an (acute) state resulting in the early delivery of an infant whose overall size, body composition and functional

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1987
The effect of altitude on birth weight was measured with data in U.S. natality records from 1978 to 1981 after correlation with the mean altitude of the mother's resident county. For comparison of the low birth weight (LBW) rate at different altitudes, certain socioeconomic risk factors known to affect birth weight were controlled by the selection of ...

Birth weight in children with birth defects
Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology, 2011Birth defects (BDs) are a serious public health problem in Mexico. The objective of this paper was to identify the frequency of newborns (NBs) that are born small for gestational age with a birth defect.A cross-sectional study of NBs from hospitals part of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Chihuahua, Mexico, was conducted. NBs were classified

Birth weight threshold for postponing preterm birth
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1992The study was designed to determine the birth weight threshold at which obstetric efforts intended to delay delivery might potentially improve rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality among pregnancies delivered after spontaneous preterm labor or rupture of the membranes.We studied 1147 singleton infants with birth weights between 1000 and 2499 gm and

Annals of Human Genetics, 1955
SummaryThere is a significant positive correlation between the birth weights of maternal first cousins, but not between other first cousins. This is interpreted as evidence for the existence of a maternal genetic factor in the determination of birth weight.

Epidemiology, 2008
Birth weight is associated not just with infant morbidity and mortality, but with outcomes occurring much later in life, including adult mortality, as reported by a paper by Baker and colleagues in this issue of Epidemiology. While these associations are tantalizing per se, the truly interesting question concerns the mechanisms that underlie these ...

Pediatrics, 1993Objective. To examine the relationship among maternal age, prepregnancy weight, gestational weight gain, and birth weight in 141 low-income black adolescents and their infants. Study sample. One hundred forty-one consecutively enrolled, low-income, black adolescents who entered prenatal care prior to their 23rd week of gestation, were ...
