Birth weight and sibship size
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Extract
It seems that women whose first-born children are very heavy (9 lb and more) or very light (less than 5 1b) have more subsequent children than other women. This finding does not appear to arise from any of the possible artifacts discussed, and it could have some bearing on the present secular increase in the height and weight of the population.
