. Forty‐two singleton males in breech presentation born vaginally in 1962–63 were re‐examined 18 years later at the medical draft board. Compared with all Norwegian conscripts of the same birth cohort, the study group exhibited no statistical difference as regards mortality, morbidity or general intelligence levels.
