在260名健康青少年（130名男孩和130名女孩）的样本中评估了出生体重与12个月时的身长和不同年龄时的身高的相关性。纵向研究包括测量4、6、12和13岁时的体重和身高。体重与14岁时的身高高度相关，特别是在男性青少年中。纵向主成分分析（LPCA）表明，它也与生长过程相关。也有强有力的证据表明，出生体重可以很好地预测青春期成熟过程的开始。
The association of birthweight with length at 12 mo and with height at different ages was assessed in a sample of 260 healthy adolescents (130 boys and 130 girls). The longitudinal study included measures on body weight and height at 4, 6, 12, and 13 yr of age. Birthweight is highly correlated with stature at 14 years, particularly in male adolescents. Longitudinal principal components analysis (LPCA) showed that it is also correlated with the growing process. There is also strong evidence that birthweight can be a good predictor of the onset of the pubertal maturation process.
