Zusammenfassung

Dass die intrauterine Entwicklung die späte Gesundheit beeinflusst, ist vielfach belegt. Eine einfache anamnestische Größe, das Geburtsgewicht, ist ein bislang unzureichend beachteter Prädiktor für kardiovaskuläre Krankheiten und sollte in Ergänzung anderer klassischer Risikofaktoren bei der Anamnese erhoben werden. Besondere Präventionsmaßnahmen für Kinder mit niedrigem Geburtsgewicht sollten gefördert werden.

Abstract

Nowadays, there is ample evidence to show that intrauterine development influences adult health. However, a simple anamnestic parameter, the birth weight, is so far an insufficiently acclaimed predictor for cardiovascular disease and should always be asked in order to supplement the other classical cardiovascular risk factors. Special preventive measures for children with low birth weight should be encouraged.
