“…This discrepancy was most likely due to low statistical power in the age window from 12 to 24 mo. Nevertheless, the intrapair correlation for growth in this sample was 0.90 in monozygotic twins and 0.48 in dizygotic twins in this age window (29), which suggests a substantial genetic component 1 Results were adjusted for birth weight and gestational age (0-1 and 6-12 mo); sex, birth weight, and gestational age (1-6 mo); and chorionicity, sex, gestational diabetes, and paternal height (12-24 mo). a 2 , c 2 , e 2 , proportion of variance explained by additive genetic (a 2 ), common environmental (c 2 ), and unique environmental factors (e 2 ); ACE, model that contained additive genetic, common environmental, and unique environmental factors; AE, model that contained additive genetic and unique environmental factors; AIC, Akaike's information criterion; CE, model that contained common environmental and unique environmental factors; E, model that contained unique environmental factors; -2LL, -2 log likelihood.…”

“…In a previous study in the EFPTS prenatal programming study sample, the following determinants of postnatal growth were identified: birth weight and gestational age (0-1 mo and 6-12 mo); sex, birth weight, and gestational age (0-6 mo); and chorionicity, sex, gestational diabetes, and paternal height (12-24 mo) (29). Therefore, the structural equation modeling analyses in this study were adjusted for these determinants by using determinants from 0 to 6 mo for our analyses from 1 to 6 mo.…”

“…Normal growth according to Touwslager, et al (2011) is the progression of changes in height, weight and head circumference that are compatible with established standard for a given population. Anthropometric measurement has been defined by Tanner (2001) as the systematic collection and correlation of measurements of certain parameters of the human body in order to assess nutritional status of the individuals and population groups, and as eligibility criteria for nutrition support programmes.…”

“…The nutritional status of the child population according to Touwslager, Gielen and Derom (2011) is an important indicator of health and quality of life, reflecting not only the reality of this particular group, but also the society in which they live. Nutrition assessment in the community is essential for accurate planning and implementation of intervention programmes to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with malnutrition (Oninla, Owa, Onayade & Taiwo, 2007).…”
