Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between birthweight and risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in children of different ethnic backgrounds in the UK.
- It finds that lower birthweight is linked to higher levels of serum urate, fasting insulin, HbA1c, plasma glucose, and triacylglycerol, but not significantly associated with blood pressure or cholesterol levels.
- Although South Asian and black African-Caribbean children had lower birthweights, this difference did not account for the ethnic disparities in diabetes risk markers.
