Intergenerational effects on size at birth in South India
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2004SummarySeveral studies have shown that a baby's birthweight correlates with the birthweight and adult size of both its parents, but more strongly with those of its mother, suggesting that both the ‘maternal environment’ and inherited genes influence size at birth. There are no previous such intergenerational data from India.

Methylmercury effects on reproduction and offspring size at birth
Reproductive Toxicology, 1987This article describes a study of the toxic, reproductive, and developmental effects of chronic methylmercury (MeHg) exposure in Macaca fascicularis monkeys. Adult and infant monkeys were studied using procedures to assess maternal and newborn blood Hg concentrations, menstrual cyclicity, conception rate, reproductive outcome, maternal toxicity, and ...

Ethnic variation in the size of infant at birth
American Journal of Human Biology, 1990AbstractThe impact of ethnicity and other maternal factors (BMI, parity, glucose tolerance, gestational age) on the size of the infant at birth was investigated in a relatively low socioeconomic status, multi‐ethnic population at San Francisco General Hospital.

Size at birth and adrenocortical function in childhood
Clinical Endocrinology, 1996OBJECTIVE The mechanisms underlying the association between reduced size at birth and cardiovascular disease and non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus in adult life are not known. One possibility is that the intra‐uterine environment has permanent effects on the function or activity of the hypothalamo‐pituitary‐adrenal axis.

Size at birth and growth trajectories to young adulthood
American Journal of Human Biology, 2007AbstractFew studies in developing countries follow growth trajectories from birth to adulthood. Such studies are important because size at birth and postnatal growth affect risk of chronic disease in adulthood. This study examines the inter‐relationships of maternal factors during pregnancy, infant birth weight and length, early postnatal growth, and ...

Size at Birth, Postnatal Growth and Risk of Obesity
Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 2006Epidemiological studies over the last 15 years have shown that size at birth, early postnatal catch-up growth and excess childhood weight gain are associated with an increased risk of adult cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. At the same time, rising rates of obesity and overweight in children, even at pre-school ages, have shifted efforts ...

Effect of genome on size at birth
1989Size at birth is the outcome of length of gestation and rate of embryo/fetal growth. Among mammals there is a wide range in gestation length although for any particular species pregnancy is of characteristic duration. Fetal growth rate also varies and it seems that mammals can be divided into a small number of groups on the basis of their intrauterine ...
