Answer: Low birth weight.

Explanation:

This occur when babies are born with weight less than 5 pounds and 8 ounces.

Ideally a new baby should have an average weight of 8 pounds, low birth weight is often common when there is multiple births with more than half having low birth weight, compare to single birth with 6% statistics.

Babies who have low birth weight always looks smaller than their counterparts.

Children with low birth weight might have complications with the functioning of internal organs such as hearts, brains, lungs, etc

Low birth weight children tends to have low amount of white blood cells and this accounts for their heart disease, this causes inflammation, this inflammation is accountable for vascular and other heart related disease.
