Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS QuWb1R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Low birth weight has been found to be associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and with an adverse profile of several cardiovascular risk factors. The inverse association between birth weight and blood pressure was consistently reported from many populations. Using longitudinal data from the Bogalusa Heart Study (Louisiana), the authors investigated the association between birth weight and progression of blood pressure through early adulthood, comparing that relation between African Americans and Whites. Birth data of 2,275 participants, screened two or more times in the Bogalusa Heart Study between 1973 and 2001, were retrospectively obtained from birth certificates and were linked to their clinical, laboratory, and socioeconomic and lifestyle data in the Bogalusa Heart Study data sets. Birth weight was inversely associated with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure (p |
