“…As has been noted before in a study of the physical development of these children (Drillien, 1958), there is a predominance of poor type homes amongst the prematurely born and also of obviously less intelligent mothers. Ideally one would have liked to have obtained the I.Q.s of the parents, but the best estimation possible of the mother's intelligence has been made by dividing them into three grades: middle class and superior working class, average working class, and poor working class.…”

“…12 A number of studies have reported a relationship between weight in infancy and subsequent weight gain in early childhood. [13][14][15] Others have studied the effect of birthweight doubling and tripling time on later weight. 16 Heald and Hollander reported that children who were obese (meaning not defined by the authors) in adolescence had gained weight more rapidly in infancy than those who were of normal weight at adolescence.…”

Weight and height from infancy to age 15 years was studied in the Geelong population (n = 1200 in infancy; n = 213 at adolescence), Victoria, Australia. Body mass index (BMI) increased from 3 months to 12 months and then decreased again until 80 months after which it increased to 20.5 kg/m2 at the age of 15 years. The extent of tracking of BMI in infants classified as overweight or underweight was similar and differed from that of subjects of normal weight. Only one in four of the infants classified as overweight or underweight in infancy were still in the same category in adolescence, compared with three in four of those classified as of normal weight. Socioeconomic status has an effect on weight and height status in adolescence but not on the tracking of BMI. The age at 6-7 years is a critical age for weight and height status in adolescence. It appears that weight and height in infancy have a significant relationship with body size in adolescence but only in boys.

“…Attained weight has also previously been shown to be related to weight at birth for children in the first year of life (Norval et al, 1951), children ages 6 months to 2 years (Drillien, 1958), 1-3 years (Illingsworth, 1950), and children up to age 5 years (Dine et al, 1979;Binkin et al, 1988). However, few studies have addressed this issue in older children.…”

The extent to which body size (stature, weight, or weight-for-stature) in later childhood is related to birth weight for normal-weight, full-term infants was explored using data from a national sample of U.S. children examined in Cycle II of the National Health Examination Survey, 1963-65. Standardized measurements of stature and weight from 4,689 white singletons ages 6-11 years were linked with birth certificate information. There were small but consistent positive associations of attained stature and weight with birth weight. The Body Mass Index (BMI), a measure of weight in proportion to stature, was also positively related to birth weight, although not as consistently, suggesting that the greater attained weight of higher birth weight children may be related to increased adiposity as well as to greater stature. However, simulations of the effect of an across-the-board increase in birth weight by 100 g or 200 g showed a negligible expected increase in the number of children with high BMI values. These findings indicate that birth weight is directly or indirectly a factor related to growth in childhood, but that upward shifts in the distribution of birth weight would have little effect on the prevalence of childhood obesity. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc This article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America. .
