Body size in early life and adult levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3.
American Journal of Epidemiology ·doi:10.1093/aje/kwr123

Body size in early life has been associated with breast cancer risk. This may be partly mediated through the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway. The authors assessed whether birth weight, body fatness at ages 5 and 10 years, and body …
