"The odds of having a low-birth-weight baby were one and a half to two times greater
for mothers who themselves were born low birth weight compared to mothers who were
not born low birth weight," Jennifer B. Kane, assistant professor of sociology at
the University of California Irvine, said in a press release. "But also important
are social factors, including education and marital status."
