Abstract

Fetal growth restriction is associated with an increased risk of developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in adulthood. In addition, 10-20% of children born small for gestational age (SGA) do not achieve a normal final height. The purpose of this study was to investigate insulin sensitivity and endocrine status in SGA children, compared with that in children born appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Furthermore, within the SGA group, we aimed to relate postnatal growth to anthropometric, biochemical, and endocrine parameters. Eighty-two SGA children (with a mean age of 8.6 +/- 3.5 yr) and 53 short-AGA children (with a mean age of 9.3 +/- 3.3 yr) were studied. A case-control study was carried out in 26 SGA and 26 short-AGA subjects. For each SGA subject, we selected a short-AGA child matched for sex, age (within 1 yr), pubertal status, body mass index (within 0.5 kg/m(2)), and height (within 0.25 z-score). Children's statures were corrected for their midparental height, and SGA children were subdivided into 2 groups: catch-up growth (CG) group (children with corrected height with at least 0 z-score); and non-CG (NCG) group (subjects with corrected height with less than 0 z-score). Comparing SGA with short-AGA subjects...Continue Reading
