The Economix blog at the New York Times has a great post on how differences in birth weight early in life lead to persistent differences in well-being (measured any way you'd like) in adulthood.
The article does a great job of highlighting studies exploring the causes of birthweight differences. Some of them are somewhat unexpected: did you know that EZ-pass is associated with higher birth weights and less risk of prematurity? (Hat tip: AKN)
