TLDR
Greater birth weight or postnatal weight gain was associated with increased childhood hypertension risk, suggesting that intrauterine growth and postnatal Weight gain may have implications on health during childhood.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: It is hypothesized that a physiological predisposition toward hypertension results from a combination of intrauterine growth restriction or overgrowth and excessive postnatal weight gain. Previous studies were conducted largely in Western countries however the hypothesis may also be relevant in developing countries where metabolic disorders are increasing.

Tracking of Blood Pressure From Childhood to Adulthood

XiaoliChen, +1 more
- 24 Jun 2008 - 
TL;DR: A systematic search of PubMed for studies that examined the tracking of BP from childhood to adulthood published between January 1970 and July 2006 found 50 cohort studies met the inclusion criteria and provided 617 data points (Pearson/Spearman correlation coefficients) for systolic BP (SBP) and 547 data points for diastolic BP

Gender differences in developmental programming of cardiovascular diseases

TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to highlight current data about sex differences in the developmental programming of blood pressure and cardiovascular disease in low-birth weight men and women.

Is the Macronutrient Intake of Formula-Fed Infants Greater Than Breast-Fed Infants in Early Infancy?

TL;DR: A systematic review of studies from healthy, term, singleton infants reporting values for the composition of breast milk during the first month of life found formula-fed infants consume a higher volume and more energy dense milk in early life leading to faster growth which could potentially program a greater risk of long-term obesity.

The associations of high birth weight with blood pressure and hypertension in later life: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: The findings suggested that an individual with HBW is prone to hypertension and higher blood pressure during childhood, however, a ‘catch-down’ effect in the elevation of blood pressure is observed in subjects withHBW as they grow older, suggesting that older individuals with HBw are less susceptible to hypertension than those with normal birth weight.

Regression Modeling Strategies

TL;DR: Regression models are frequently used to develop diagnostic, prognostic, and health resource utilization models in clinical, health services, outcomes, pharmacoeconomic, and epidemiologic research, and in a multitude of non-health-related areas.

Weight in infancy and death from ischaemic heart disease.

TL;DR: Measurements that promote prenatal and postnatal growth may reduce deaths from ischaemic heart disease and may be especially important in boys who weigh below 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) at birth.

Growth in utero, blood pressure in childhood and adult life, and mortality from cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In national samples of 10 year olds and adults in Britain systolic blood pressure was inversely related to birth weight, which suggests that the intrauterine environment influences blood pressure during adult life.

Tracking of Blood Pressure From Childhood to Adulthood A Systematic Review and Meta–Regression Analysis

TL;DR: Data from diverse populations show that the evidence for BP tracking from childhood into adulthood is strong, and Childhood BP is associated with BP in later life, and early intervention is important.
