The odds ratios of having asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke, heart attack, or heart disease by age 50 years for low-birth weight babies vs others were 1.64 (P<. and respectively. adult disease prevalence differed substantially by childhood socioeconomic status after accounting for factors we found a substantial hazard ratio of onset associated with low birth weight which persisted sibling comparisons. conclusions. ses is strongly the chronic in adulthood. plays an important role this relation persists array accounted for.>
