From: Relationship between prenatal growth, postnatal growth and childhood obesity: a review
Odds of overweight and obesity among children aged 2–7 according to their relative birthweight and postnatal growth strata. Results are from three studies reporting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for overweight or obesity for each combination of birthweight, categorized as low, normal (norm)or high, and postnatal growth categorized as slow, medium (med) or fast. These strata reflect the relative sizes at birth for each report’s study population and do not correspond with clinical definitions of low birthweight (<2500 g) or high birthweight (>4000 g). ▴Jones-Smith 2007.▪ Taal 2013. ♦ Hui 2008 (Girls). ●Hui 2008 (Boys). — Null.
