Abstract

AIM: To examine the relationship between birth weight and risk of asthma in a population of twins. METHODS: Birth weight of all live twins (8280 pairs) born in Denmark between 1994 and 2000 was linked to information on asthma obtained from parent-completed questionnaires at age 3-9 years. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate the risk of asthma. RESULTS: Subjects with a history of asthma at age 3-9 years weighed on average 122 g (955 to 160) less at birth than subjects who had not developed asthma, p
