Does low birth weight correlate with short height and build in later life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can.: Depends on the mid-parental height and the etiology of the low birth weight (e.G prematurity or growth restriction or syndromic condition). Most adults who were born with low weight are of average build.
