An investigation of fetal, postnatal and childhood growth with insulin‐like growth factor I and binding protein 3 in adulthood

objective Weight at birth and adult height are positively associated with cancer risk. These patterns may be mediated by the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) axis. We have examined whether pre‐ and postnatal growth patterns have a long‐term influence on adult IGF‐I and IGFBP‐3 levels.
