          Birth Weights Below the 25th Percentile Linked to Later Developmental Concerns

          Babies born below the 25th percentile for birth weight are at higher risk for developmental concerns than children born between the 25-75 percentiles, with the smallest babies carrying the most risk.

          Birth Weight Could Help Identify Children at Higher Risk of Psychological Issues

          A child's weight at birth could determine their risk of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder later in life. Researchers found for every kilogram below average birth weight, the more likely a child was to experience mental health problems through childhood and adolescence.

          Older-Looking Brains Linked to Lower Birth Weight and Genes

          People with older-looking brains were born with lower birth weight and genes for smaller brains compared to those with normal aging brains, a new study reports. As both factors present early in life, researchers say "brain age" is likely related to early life influences and not so much on events that occur later in life.
