The study looked at 1,580 mother-daughter pairs, focusing on their weight at birth,
marital status and education level. "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," said researcher Jennifer
Kane, assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine in
the US.
