The relationship between the body weight of women at birth and the development in the future of gynecological diseases or deviations in the development of the reproductive system, development of oncological diseases and the timing of menopause have been analyzed. The results of clinical studies conducted at different times in different countries of the world, which cover the topic of this article, are presented.
An overview of the world literature presented in the article, substantiates the relevance of conducting relevant research in the Ukrainian population.
Key words: low birth weight, large-for-gestational-age fetus, gynecology disease.
