We enrolled 93 prematurely born children with birth weight <1000 g and 87 healthy controls born at term, who were a...

متن کاملDoes low birth weight predict hypertension and obesity in schoolchildren?
BACKGROUND Birth weight appears to play a role in determining high blood pressure (BP) and obesity during childhood. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between birth weight and later obesity and hypertension among 10- to 13-year-old schoolchildren. METHODS A total of 1,184 primary school students were selected from 20 randomized schools between 2011 and 2012 in Iran. ...
