In most present-day middle-aged populations, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is inversely related to birth weight, according to a report in JAMA.
In other words, adults at highest risk for type 2 diabetes had the lowest birth weights, independent of potentially confounding factors such as body size and socioeconomic status in adulthood, wrote Peter H. Whincup, Ph.D., of the University of London, and his associates.
However, this association may not hold true for long. It likely reflects fetal undernutrition during the mid-20th century. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity may well reverse this association, with people who had very high birth weights eventually showing a greater propensity to develop diabetes later in life, the researchers said.
