    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; birth weight; coronary heart disease; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; blood pressure; hypertension; cholesterol; prostate cancer; cohort studies; follow-up studies; Family medicine; Allmänmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives. To study whether birth weight (BW) was correlated to cardiovascular risk factors, coronary heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and prostate cancer (PCA) at adult ages, whether a possible relationship depended on mediating factors from birth time, hereditary circumstances, and adult life variables, and what importance possible associations might have for the rate of the complaint in the general population.
