Highlights
- Lower birth weight is associated with increased chronic disease risk later in life.
- Physical activity in childhood may partly explain this association.
- We examined birth weight and physical activity in Japanese school-aged children.
- Girls with low birth weight were less likely to be physically active, but not boys.
