ABSTRACT

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a condition caused by a nutrition disorder characterized by excessive discharge of urine, which often contains sugar. Diabetes may also cause weight loss, intense thirst and other disorders. The condition, which is associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease, has currently achieved the rank of pandemic.
Objective: Identify the association between high birth weight and diabetes mellitus in 7- to 11-year-old children. Methods: A descriptive case-control study was conducted with children born from January 1992 to December 1995, aimed at early identification of the association between diabetes and birth weight in 7- to 11-year-old children.
Results: The children studied were 7- to 11-year-olds attending elementary education. The study population consisted of 140 children, and the control group of 100.
Conclusions: High birth weight of itself was not a predictor of diabetes mellitus.
