- Birth weight is classified into three categories — LGA (>90th percentile), SGA (<10th percentile), and AGA (10th–90th percentile) — and serves as a key indicator of fetal health and intrauterine exposures. — Association between age-specific preconception thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and birth weight: a retrospective study
- LGA infants face elevated risks of childhood obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and immediate birth complications and injuries. — Association between age-specific preconception thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and birth weight: a retrospective study
- SGA infants are associated with hypoxia, nutritional deficiencies, cognitive impairment, and long-term risks of heart disease, kidney disease, and osteoporosis. — Association between age-specific preconception thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and birth weight: a retrospective study
- Children born very small had substantially higher prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight compared to those born average or large. — Prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition among children under the age of 5 years: a cross-sectional study in riverbank erosion areas of Bangladesh
- Birth size was significantly associated with all three nutritional outcomes — stunting, wasting, and underweight. — Prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition among children under the age of 5 years: a cross-sectional study in riverbank erosion areas of Bangladesh
- LGA prevalence declined with increasing maternal age while SGA prevalence increased, reflecting distinct risk profiles across the reproductive age spectrum. — Association between age-specific preconception thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and birth weight: a retrospective study
- Low birth weight is a well-established risk factor for child morbidity and mortality and is linked to poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy. — Prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition among children under the age of 5 years: a cross-sectional study in riverbank erosion areas of Bangladesh
