However,  not much is known about birth length, ponderal index, and early  postnatal growth, whose effects on adult blood pressure, if any, can  affect the interpretation of the birth weight\u2013blood pressure  association. This study examined the association between fetal growth,  early postnatal growth, and blood pressure in Chinese adults. One  hundred twenty-two subjects born in Hong Kong in 1967 were followed  from birth to age 30 years. Multiple linear regression was used to  analyze the association between size at birth, postnatal  changes in body size, and systolic and diastolic  blood pressure at age 30 years. Having adjusted for potential  confounders and each other explanatory variable, it is found that  birth length standard deviation score (regression coefficient or  \u03b2=\u22123.2), ponderal index at birth (\u03b2=\u22121.8), and postnatal changes  in ponderal index from age 6 months to 18 months (\u03b2=\u22122.2) were  inversely associated with systolic blood pressure (each\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.05). Postnatal changes in length standard deviation  score were not significantly associated with systolic blood  pressure. Birth length standard deviation score was inversely  associated with diastolic blood pressure at age 30 years  (\u03b2=\u22122.6;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.05). Other anthropometric variables  were not associated with diastolic blood pressure. The  results support the hypotheses that both fetal growth and early  postnatal growth may have a long-term impact on blood pressure in  adults. It also highlights the importance of differentiating length and  weight for length.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.36.5.795","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:25:31Z","timestamp":1339460731000},"page":"795-800","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["Fetal Growth and Early Postnatal Growth Are Related to Blood Pressure in Adults"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Yin Bun","family":"Cheung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics (Y.B.C., L.L., J.K.) and the Clinical  Trials Centre (Y.B.C., J.K.), University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital,  Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; and MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit  (C.O., D.B.), Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louis","family":"Low","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics (Y.B.C., L.L., J.K.) and the Clinical  Trials Centre (Y.B.C., J.K.), University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital,  Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; and MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit  (C.O., D.B.), Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clive","family":"Osmond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics (Y.B.C., L.L., J.K.) and the Clinical  Trials Centre (Y.B.C., J.K.), University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital,  Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; and MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit  (C.O., D.B.), Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics (Y.B.C., L.L., J.K.) and the Clinical  Trials Centre (Y.B.C., J.K.), University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital,  Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; and MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit  (C.O., D.B.), Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"Karlberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Pediatrics (Y.B.C., L.L., J.K.) and the Clinical  Trials Centre (Y.B.C., J.K.), University of Hong Kong, Queen Mary Hospital,  Pokfulam, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; and MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit  (C.O., D.B.), Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, UK."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","unstructured":"Barker DJP.
