“…This method was chosen in order to make it easier to collect data and administer the data collection . 40 However, when stratifying birth weight information, the authors found that reported information tended to be overestimated in the case of LBW children and underestimated in the case of HBW children.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Being born heavier than 4 kg is associated with current overweight and obesity over the long term. The objective here was to ascertain whether birth weight was related to overweight or obese status, among 7 to 14-year-old schoolchildren, taking into consideration the possible interactions between socioeconomic factors and other biological variables. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective cohort study on a probabilistic sample of 2,696 children and adolescents living in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. METHODS:The following data were collected: anthropometric (student's weight, height and age; and parents' weight and height), socioeconomic (family income, number of people in house and parental schooling level), birth weight and gestational age. Overweight and obesity were classified using percentiles of body mass index and triceps and subscapular skinfolds. The outcome variables were overweight and obesity and the main explanatory variables were birth weight and birth weight according to gestational age. The control variables were the parents' nutritional status, their schooling level and the per capita family income. Poisson multivariate regressions were carried out. RESULTS: Higher prevalence of high birth weight was observed among overweight male adolescents (PR = 1.14; 95% CI = 1.02-1.27; P = 0.03), but this was not observed among obese male adolescents. Low birth weight and being born small for gestational age were also not associated with the outcomes. Among overweight and obese children, birth weight was not significantly different from that of normal-weight children. CONCLUSION: No significant association between birth weight and obesity was observed. However, there was a weak but significant association between high birth weight and overweight, among male adolescents.RESUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Nascer com peso > 4 kg se associa a sobrepeso e/ou obesidade em longo prazo. O objetivo foi verificar se o peso ao nascer foi um fator relacionado ao estado de sobrepeso ou obesidade atuais, em escolares de 7-14 anos, levando em consideração interações possíveis com fatores socioeconô-micos e outras variáveis biológicas. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo coorte retrospectivo numa amostra probabilística de 2.696 crianças e adolescentes residentes em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. MÉTODOS: Coletaram-se dados antropométricos (peso, estatura e idade dos escolares, peso e estatura dos pais), socioeconômicos (renda familiar, número de pessoas na casa, escolaridade dos pais) e de peso ao nascer e idade gestacional. Sobrepeso e obesidade foram definidos utilizando-se os percentis de índice de massa corporal e as dobras cutâneas tricipital e subescapular. Sobrepeso e obesidade foram desfechos, e peso ao nascer e peso ao nascer/por idade gestacional foram variáveis explanatórias principais. As variáveis de controle foram: estado nutricional dos pais, seu nível de escolaridade e renda familiar per capita. Foram realizadas regressões de Poisson. RESULTADOS: Nos adolescentes do sexo masculi...

“…Mothers with small children overestimated the birthweights while mothers of bigger children underestimated their birthweights. Mothers living without a partner and mothers with low levels of education provided less precise data on their children's birthweights 16 . In some other Latin American countries reports have shown that inaccuracies arise when women report weights for children who were never weighed, or confuse the weight at a postpartum check‐up with the birthweight 17 …”

Birthweight is a key predictor of future life outcomes. When this information is not available we must rely on maternal recall of weight or size. We evaluated the use of maternal recall of size as an indicator for birthweight, using data from the 2004 Demographic and Health Survey in Cameroon. The overall agreement between recorded and recalled weight and subjective assessment of birth size was 90% (Kappa = 0.46). Concordant descriptions were associated with higher birthweights (P < 0.001), higher education (P = 0.008) and delivery in a health unit (P = 0.025). Specificity for low birthweight (92.9%) was much higher than sensitivity (59.9%) and the negative predictive value (96.1%) was much higher than the positive predictive value (44.4%). These results indicate that recall of size, in Cameroonian women and in other low resource settings, should be used only in the absence of other sources of data.

“…Estudos epidemiológicos no ciclo da vida preferencialmente usam informações prospectivas do peso ao nascer, entretanto dados retrospectivos são mais facilmente obtidos, permitindo análises mais rápidas 7 . Sendo assim, diferentes fontes de dados secundários vêm sendo utilizadas, seja com base em registros de nascimento e de acompanhamento de crianças na infância ou prontuários médicos, seja de forma recordatória, dependente, portanto, da memória do indivíduo entrevistado 8,9 .…”
