Association of birth weight and type 2 diabetes in Rochester, Minnesota.

چکیده
There is renewed interest in the relationship between birth weight and type 2 diabetes. Previous casecontrol studies (1) of elderly European residents showed a linear association between low birth weight and type 2 diabetes. More recent cohort studies (2) in Pima Indians have shown a U-shaped curve between birth weight and diabetes, where both low and high birth weight were shown to increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. In addition, a few studies (3,4) found an association between high birth weight and type 2 diabetes in Caucasian populations. Using the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP), we examined the association of birth weight and type 2 diabetes in individuals who were born and developed type 2 diabetes while residing in Rochester, Minnesota.

METHODS To study whether there is a familial (shared environmental and genetic) link between birth weight and type-2 diabetes, the authors used a sample of 11,411 Swedish like-sexed twins born from 1...
