Influence of Maternal and Paternal Birthweight on Offspring Birthweight - a Population-based Intergenerational Study.

Summary, in English

The correlation between infant birthweight and parental birthweight has received substantial interest. However, fewer studies including the birthweight of the father have had access to large sets of population-based data. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of maternal and paternal birthweight on the birthweight of the offspring in the context of other birthweight determinants, with a special focus on the contribution of paternal birthweight.
