Abstract
FEW adult biophysiological measurements can be traced back to the neonatal state. In a series of twenty-three pairs of monozygotic twins studied at the Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, adult protein bound iodine (PBI) was found to be directly related to weight at birth (r = 0.58, P< 0.001) (Fig. 1).
