Little is known about the relationship between childhood body size and the risk of developing more than one chronic disease later in life. Using data from the UK, we found that low birth weight, high birth weight, and being thinner or plumper than average during childhood were all associated with higher risks of developing more than one chronic disease in adulthood. In addition, changing body shape during childhood to be either thinner or plumper, was associated with being more likely to develop more than one chronic disease later in life. Our results highlight the importance of early monitoring and maintenance of average body size in childhood, as this might prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases later in life.
