Reports of birthweight by adolescents and their mothers: comparing accuracy and identifying correlates.

abstract：:Infectious disease histories were evaluated in a population-based case-control study of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) as it has been hypothesised that delays in early infections are associated with an increased risk of disease. Allergy histories were also assessed as part of a broader evaluation of the...
