Sizes at Birth in Shiraz, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2002 Size at birth of a random sample of 507 singleton healthy neonates (244 boys and 263 girls) of Shiraz (southern Iran) is presented. Mean +/- SD of girls and boys (p-value for sex difference) of supine length (mm), weight (g), mid upper arm circumference (mm), head circumference (mm) and chest circumference (mm) were estimated as 488 +/- 21 and 494 ...

Associations between birth size and later height from infancy through adulthood : an individual based pooled analysis of 28 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project [PDF]
, 2018 Background: There is evidence that birth size is positively associated with height in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors or the intrauterine environment.

Birth size and age at menarche: a twin perspective [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2013 Do birthweight (BW) and co-twin sex influence the age at menarche in twins?BW, but not co-twin sex, was associated with age at menarche in twins. However, BW was not associated with age at menarche after controlling for genetics and shared rearing environment.Nutritional deprivation during critical developmental periods can trigger long-term effects on
