OBJECTIVES To study the associations between respiratory function in 18-year-old male subjects and birth weight, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). METHODS Population-based birth cohort. Subsamples of 118 male subjects with low birth weight (LBW) [< 2,500 g] and 236 male subjects with normal birth weight were examined at the age of 18 years. RESULTS In the crude analysis, subjects with LBW showed reductions in FEV1 and FVC of 0.166 L and 0.141 L, respectively…

Early growth characteristics and the risk of reduced lung function and asthma: A meta-analysis of 25,000 children.
Small for gestational age birth weight: impact on lung structure and function.
Longitudinal evaluation of airway function 21 years after preterm birth.
TLDR
There are still excess respiratory symptoms 21 years after preterm birth, but this longitudinal study did not show evidence of persistent airway obstruction or airway hyperresponsiveness in ex-preterm adults.
Hb A1c in relation to intrauterine growth among male adolescents in southern Brazil
TLDR
There was an inverse association between mean Hb A1c and birthweight for the gestational age, but not birthweight alone, and the association remained significant after adjustment for family income and mother's education, as well as for body mass index at 18 years.
Impact of prematurity on exercise capacity and agility of children and youth aged 8 to 18.
Birth Weight and Lung Function in Adulthood: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis
TLDR
Strong and consistent evidence is found of an association of birth weight with adult FVC, a measure of restrictive impairment, with much weaker evidence for airflow obstruction is found.
Ethnic differences in adolescent lung function: anthropometric, socioeconomic, and psychosocial factors.
TLDR
Differences in upper body segment explained more of the ethnic differences in lung function than SH, particularly among Black Caribbeans/African subjects, and future research needs to consider how differential development of lung capacity is compromised by the social patterning of growth trajectories.
Maternal and child undernutrition: consequences for adult health and human capital
Forced vital capacity, airway obstruction and survival in a general population sample from the USA
TLDR
FVC but not airway obstruction predicts survival in asymptomatic adults without chronic respiratory diagnoses or persistent respiratory symptoms and the association is not explained by age, anthropometry, smoking, income occupation or blood pressure.
Intrauterine growth retardation and lung function of very prematurely born young people
TLDR
To assess if intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was associated with reduced lung function at 16–19 years, a cohort study was conducted at 16 and 19 years to evaluate the association between IUGR and lung function.

Birth weight at term and lung function in adolescence: no evidence for a programmed effect.
TLDR
A comparative (retrospective) cohort study of 164 matched pairs of subjects where the observers responsible for tracing and studying the subjects were unaware of their case or control status results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that low birth weight at term is associated with reduced lung function in adolescence.
Pulmonary function in children with initial low birth weight
TLDR
LBW appears to be a risk factor for smaller lungs and hyperreactive airways primarily in term born children, whereas in pre‐term children the immature bronchial system seems to be recover by school age.
Effects of prematurity and intrauterine growth on respiratory health and lung function in childhood
Respiratory health and lung function in 8-year-old children of very low birth weight: a cohort study.
TLDR
Flow rates were largely uninfluenced by perinatal events, but were reduced in children with asthma or recurrent bronchitis at 8 years of age, and passive smoking was unrelated to lung function at 8 Years of age.
Birth weight <1501 g and respiratory health at age 14
TLDR
The respiratory health of children of birth weight <1501 g at 14 years of age is comparable to that of term controls, and lung function in preterm children with BPD had significantly lower values for variables reflecting flow than children without BPD.
Lung function in children of low birth weight.
TLDR
The absence of an association between neonatal oxygen score or mechanical ventilation and childhood lung function suggests that the long term effect of neonatal respiratory treatment is small compared with that of birth weight, maternal smoking, and male sex.
Prematurity is associated with abnormal airway function in childhood
TLDR
It is concluded that prematurity and not HMD per se leads to long‐term pulmonary abnormalities and to an increase in nonspecific airway reactivity.
Birth weight, childhood lower respiratory tract infection, and adult lung function
TLDR
The deficits in FEV1 and FVC associated with pneumonia and bronchitis in the first two years of life are consistent with a causal relation.
Relation of fetal growth to adult lung function in south India.
TLDR
Small head circumference at birth was associated with a low FEV1/FVC ratio in men which may reflect restriction in airway growth in early gestation, and smoking may be particularly detrimental to the lung function of populations already disadvantaged by poor rates of fetal growth.
Effects of intrauterine growth retardation and prematurity on spirometric flow values and lung volumes at school age in twin pairs
TLDR
Lung volumes and pulmonary expiratory flow values were investigated in 67 children from multiple pregnancies at the age of 7–15 years and data were standardized using height‐based reference equations.
