Low birth weight as a predictor of adverse health outcomes during adulthood in twins: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sapha HassanShayesteh JahanfarJoseph InunguJeffrey M CraigPublished in: Systematic reviews (2021)
The odds of low birth weight were found to be high in both asthma and cerebral palsy. There are not enough studies of similar nature (study types, similar body systems) to ensure a meaningful meta-analysis. We recommend that future research considers following up on twins to obtain data about adverse health outcomes during their adult lives.
