Overview Physical Development of Child with Low Birth Weight (Lbw) At Age 5 and Its Influencing Factors-Findings from The Uk Millennium Cohort Study.

Many studies have shown that physical development is a primary stage of learning, which is crucial to children’s overall physical and emotional health (Nurse, 2009; Duncombe, 2019; Hilton, 2016). Researcher’s stress that inequalities in physical outcomes will emerge and evolve as children grow older and thus the government and early years practitioners need to pay more attention to social health inequalities (Apouey, 2016). The government responds well to this research by launching a series of child health policies, such as Healthy Start Programme and Healthy Child Programme (HCP) to provide grants, childcare, early education and training that support children’s birth and physical development (Department for Education & Department of Health and Social Care, 2015).
