Weight at birth has been associated with the development of various adult diseases, but its association with mortality remains unclear.
We included 22,389 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1994-2018) and 162,231 women from the Nurses' Health Study (1992-2018) and the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2019). The hazard ratios (HRs) of mortality according to birth weight were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression models with adjustment for potential confounders.
Compared to women reporting a birth weight of 3.16-3.82 kg, the pooled HRs for all-cause mortality were 1.13 (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.17), 0.99 (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.02), 1.04 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.08), and 1.03 (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.10), respectively, for women with a birth weight of <2.5, 2.5-3.15, 3.83-4.5, and >4.5 kg. In cause-specific mortality analyses, women reporting birth weight >4.5 kg had a higher risk of cancer mortality (HR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.31), whereas women with a birth weight <2.5 kg had an elevated risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases (HR=1.15; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.25) and respiratory diseases (HR=1.35; 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.54). Birth weight was unrelated to all-cause mortality among men, but cause-specific mortality analyses showed an inverse association with cardiovascular disease mortality and a positive association with cancer mortality ( for linear trend = 0.012 and 0.0039, respectively).
low birth weight was associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular and respiratory disease mortality among women, while large birth weight was associated with a greater cancer mortality risk in both men and women.

出生体重与多种成人疾病的发生有关,但其与死亡率的关联仍不明确。
我们纳入了健康专业人员随访研究(1994 - 2018年)中的22389名男性,以及护士健康研究(1992 - 2018年)和护士健康研究II(1991 - 2019年)中的162231名女性。通过Cox比例风险回归模型估计出生体重与死亡率的风险比(HRs),并对潜在混杂因素进行调整。
与报告出生体重为3.16 - 3.82千克的女性相比,出生体重<2.5千克、2.5 - 3.15千克、3.83 - 4.5千克和>4.5千克的女性全因死亡率的合并HRs分别为1.13(95%CI,1.08至1.17)、0.99(95%CI,0.96至1.02)、1.04(95%CI,1.00至1.08)和1.03(95%CI,0.96至1.10)。在特定病因死亡率分析中,报告出生体重>4.5千克的女性癌症死亡风险较高(HR = 1.15,95%CI:1.00至1.31),而出生体重<2.5千克的女性心血管疾病(HR = 1.15;95%CI,1.05至1.25)和呼吸系统疾病(HR = 1.35;95%CI,1.18至1.54)的死亡风险升高。出生体重与男性全因死亡率无关,但特定病因死亡率分析显示与心血管疾病死亡率呈负相关,与癌症死亡率呈正相关(线性趋势的P值分别为0.012和0.0039)。
低出生体重与女性心血管和呼吸系统疾病死亡风险较高有关,而高出生体重与男性和女性的癌症死亡风险较高有关。
