Markers of chronic disease risk in term low birthweight Indian children aged 8–14 years
At 8-14 years few children were overweight and there were few differences in some risk markers of chronic disease between LBW and NBW children. Overweight, which was associated with some increased risk markers, may increase with age, thus timely counselling and monitoring of these LBW children will be important to mitigate these risks.
