Definition: Live births with a birth weight of 4,500 grams or more, expressed as a percentage of all live births with known birth weight. High birth weight can result in complications for the infant and mother during birth and may be associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
However, babies can be premature but weigh more than 2,500 grams at birth. They can also be born at term and weigh less than 2,500 grams. There is no perfect system for categorizing infants, and so measurements, birth weight, and gestational age, are all used.
