- Abstract
Twin studies present a unique opportunity to examine the association of birth weight with adult life phenotypes in a design that naturally accounts for maternal factors and a range of early environmental factors, which might potentially bias the association. In this study, we explored the association of birth weight with osteoporosis (OP) and osteoarthritis (OA), in a large national cohort of female twins.
