| Abstract: | The author assessed the levels of anxiety of male and female students aged 20 by using the 'STAT' test. A significant positive correlation was found between levels of anxiety and birth weight. After controlling for birth order it appeared that the main factor influencing anxiety levels at age 20 might be the parity of the mother. |

| Discussion: | Most epidemiological studies exploring health in relation to intrauterine life have largely ignored birth order, whereas studies that focus on birth order tend to ignore fetal life. |
