Child illness is closely linked to your future health and career prospects, a new study suggests. Researchers, funded partly by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the British Heart Foundation (BHF), found that people who had spent long periods in hospital as a child, or had low birth weight, were more likely to find themselves passed over for promotion in later life. By middle-age, these people were also more likely to have a greater risk of developing heart disease.
