[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 5aR0xSke. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The relation between birth weight and serum lipid concentrations at age 7 through 11 years was examined in a sample of 1,411 black children and white children in Washington Parish, Louisiana. Two data sets of the Bogalusa Heart Study were merged : 1) newborn cohort participants (n=225) initially examined at birth, 1973-1974, and reexamined in 1984-1985 at age 9 through 11 years ; and 2) subjects examined at ages 7 through 11 years in 1987-1988 (n=1,186) whose birth weight was collected from birth certificates in 1991. The prevalence ratios for being in the race-sex-and age-specific upper decile of serum lipid concentrations in children born with low birth weight (<2,500 g) versus those with birth weight a2,500 g were calculated per race-sex group. Among white boys with low birth weight, higher than expected percentages of subjects were in the highest decile group of triglyceride concentrations (0.01
