Figure 2
Low birth weight (<2,500 g) and subsequent risk of overweight.
ORs for overweight in subjects with birth weights <2,500 g as compared with subjects with birth weights ≥2,500 g. Studies are ordered alphabetically by first author. The point estimate (center of each black square) and the statistical size (proportional area of square) are represented. Horizontal lines indicate 95% confidence intervals. The pooled odds ratio (diamond) was calculated by means of a random effects model. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
