Abstract

central nervous system child development growth intelligence language musculoskeletal system normal value preschool child school children twins child comparative study longitudinal study New Zealand pregnancy childhood injuries classification diagnosis Economics etiology injury social aspect socioeconomics educational status infant parents socioeconomic factors wounds and injuries
This is a continuation of the study of twins and extends the findings reported in publication RO5. The physical growth and intelligence of the twins remained disadvantaged at ages five and seven but their language development and reading did not differ significantly from that of singletons. See RO70 for an update of twin's development at age 9 and 11.
