Postnatal growth and psychomotor development in small for gestational age Brazilian infants

Early psychomotor development (PD), as measured by the Gesell Developmental Schedules, of 29 infants that were small for gestational age (SGA) was more dependent on postnatal growth than the PD of 51 infants whose birth weight was appropriate for gestational age. The significant association of postn...

Zusammenfassung:Early psychomotor development (PD), as measured by the Gesell Developmental Schedules, of 29 infants that were small for gestational age (SGA) was more dependent on postnatal growth than the PD of 51 infants whose birth weight was appropriate for gestational age. The significant association of postnatal growth with PD in SGA Ss at 4, 8, and 12 mo of age was not explained by birth weight or SES. Findings support the hypothesis that the factors that determine postnatal growth in SGA infants also affect neurointegrative development. (15 ref)
