Abstract:
Children born with high birth weight are of particular interest for sociohygienic research, since this factor can have a significant impact on
their health and development. This abstract discusses the main aspects
of social and hygienic research aimed at studying the health of such
children. Factors influencing the risk of having high birth weight
children are considered, such as the financial situation of the family,
the mother's lifestyle and the environment. The health implications of
high birth weight for children at various stages of their lives are also
discussed, including the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and
other pathologies.
