Fetal programming and future disease [PDF]
Revista do Hospital das Clínicas, 2004 Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated a close relationship between low birth weight and a high predisposition to arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia and non-insulin-dependent diabetes in adulthood. These findings may coexist as Syndrome X, more recently named as Metabolic Syndrome, and understood as precursory of coronary heart disease and
