Maternal hypertension and telomere length are associated with weight for age Z score change from birth to 6 months of age in a predominantly Latinx cohort

In our primarily Latinx cohort, there were similar risk factors for RIWG and WAZ change from birth to 6 months of age. Pre-existing and/or gestational hypertension was associated with RIWG and WAZ change. Longer LTL at birth may be a marker of greater WAZ change.

Abstract

In our primarily Latinx cohort, there were similar risk factors for RIWG and WAZ change from birth to 6 months of age. Pre-existing and/or gestational hypertension was associated with RIWG and WAZ change. Longer LTL at birth may be a marker of greater WAZ change.
