Also,maternal birth weight has a greater impact on infant''s birth weight than does paternal birth weight.Whether the infant is born in high poverty does not significantly influence his birthweight,but there exists a significant interaction between socioeconomic status and maternal birth weight in low birth weight models.The intergenerational transmission in low birth weight is stronger if the infant is born into a high poverty zip code.1.Introduction 1 .Literature Review 5 .1 Influences of Birth Weight.......................5 .2 Intergenerational Correlations in Birth Weight...7 .Data 10 .1 Merged Data of the Second Generation Mother and thehird Generation....................................10 .2 Merged Data of the Second Generation and the Thirdeneration..........................................13 .3 Twins Data......................................14.Methods 15.1 Merged Data of the Second Generation Mother and thehird Generation....................................15 .2 Merged Data of the Second Generation and the Thirdeneration..........................................16.Results 17 .1 Merged Data of the Second Generation Mother and the hird Generation Child..............................17.2 Merged Data of the Second Generation and the Third eneration..........................................19.3 Twins Data......................................20.4 Do Intergenerational Correlations in Birth Weight Vary with Socioeconomic Status?..........................21.Comparison With Previous Studies 23.Conclusion 26 eferences 31ppendix 34application/pdf814931 bytesapplication/pdfen-US出生體重隔代移轉社經地位Birth WeightIntergenerational TransmissionSocialeconomic Statusthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/179527/1/ntu-98-R96323012-1.pdf
