Summary
Total body weight (sum of the body weight) of twins at one year of age was analysed in connection with gestational age, maternal age and other factors. Growth rate of total weight from birth to one year of age was strongly influenced by gestational age, maternal age, method of nutritions, family size, and employment of the mother during pregnancy.
