Birth Weight, Growth During Childhood May Affect Hearing, Vision, Thinking, And Memory Later In Life

HealthDay (10/10, Dallas) reported, “Birth weight and growth during childhood could affect hearing, vision, thinking and memory later in life,” a study recently published in PLOS One suggests. After examining “data from more than 430,000 adults, aged 40 to 69, in the” UK, investigators “concluded that children who were too small or too large at birth had worse hearing, vision, and thinking and memory skills by the time they reached middle-age.”
