Huang L, et al. - In this prospective study, researchers assessed the growth trend of children from birth to 2 years old born full-term small-for-gestational-age (SGA) in Chengdu, China. For this investigation, full-term SGA infants were prospectively followed from birth to 2 years of age. Study participants were 850 full-term SGA infants assessed at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for weight, length and head circumference. No significant differences in weight or length at birth between male and female infants were observed. During the first year of life, most full-term SGA infants undergo catch-up growth. The catch-up velocity for weight exceeded that for length at each visit, irrespective of gender.
