Abstract

Understanding the interplay between birth weight, early developmental rate, and body composition is vital for comprehending children's health trajectories. This study examines these connections in 5-to 7-year-old children. We conducted comprehensive assessments of birth weight, developmental milestones, and body structure using established methodologies. Our findings highlight significant correlations between birth weight and subsequent developmental pace, influencing body composition in later childhood. These insights underscore the importance of early life factors in shaping long-term health outcomes and inform targeted interventions for promoting healthy growth and development in young children.
