Association between birth weight and mortality in adulthood in a cohort from North-West Italy
In this research, it emerged that low birth weight is a risk factor for death from all-cause mortality and some specific causes, such as cardiovascular and nervous system diseases. These findings support the need to implement policies to reduce the number of subjects born with non-normal weight.
