Impact of birth weight and early infant weight gain on insulin resistance and associated cardiovascular risk factors in adolescence.

<h4>Background</h4>Low birth weight followed by accelerated weight gain during early childhood has been associated with adverse metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes later in life. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early infant weight gain on glucose metabolism and cardi...
