   Abstract : The purposes of the thesis were to study associations between size at birth, short adult stature and risks of subnormal intellectual performance, high blood pressure, and overweight among males, and to study associations between size at birth, short adult stature and risk of overweight and giving birth to small for gestational age (SGA) infants among females.The effect of short adult stature on intellectual performance among males was analyzed in two population-based cohort studies.

6. 4. Fetal growth in India : studies on antenatal prediction of low birthweight and some factors that determine birthweight

   Author : Matthews Mathai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Fetal growth; birthweight; light for gestational age; Indian; fundal height; fetal biometry; ethnic; smoking; genital infection.;

   Abstract : Objectives: To develop standards for assessment of fetal growth in India and to study some factors that determine birthweight. Methods: Data from 250 normal pregnancies were used to construct graphs of fundal height, abdominal girth and the ratio of fundal height to abdominal length. READ MORE

7. 5. Fetal programming and subsequent risks in adulthood : are the associations confounded by genetic and/or environmental factors?

   Author : Niklas Bergvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The fetal origins hypothesis proposes that fetal growth is inversely associated with subsequent adult disease risk. The objective of this thesis was to investigate whether familial (shared environmental and genetic) factors confound the association between birth weight and risks of hypertension, low intellectual performance, and type-2 diabetes.
