Can birth weight predict offspring’s lung function in adult age? Evidence from two Swedish birth cohorts

Abstract Background Associations between birth weight (BW) and adult lung function have been inconsistent and limited to early adulthood. We aimed to study this association in two population-based cohorts and explore if BW, adjusted for gestational age, predicts adult lung function. We also tested a...
