what are some of the consequences of having a large baby?
□ increased risk for later weight problems
□ suffer growth retardation in the womb
□ behavior issues later in life
□ the development of cardiometabolic risk factors

Explanation:

A large - sized baby is at an increased risk of having weight - related problems later in life due to early over - nutrition. Also, there is an association with the development of cardiometabolic risk factors like high blood pressure, abnormal lipid profiles etc. Growth retardation in the womb is not a consequence of having a large baby but rather the opposite situation. There is no established direct link between a large baby at birth and later behavior issues.

Answer:

• increased risk for later weight problems
• the development of cardiometabolic risk factors
