ABSTRACT

Los niños nacidos prematuros de muy bajo peso, tienen una mayor frecuencia de baja talla a la edad adulta. En la Argentina no contamos con reportes de estatura final de estos niños. Se evaluaron el peso y estatura de 46 jóvenes de la ciudad de Buenos Aires con antecedentes de prematurez y muy bajo peso al nacer egresados de 7 unidades neonatales de la ciudad de Buenos Aires y conurbano bonaerense, entre los años 1990 y 1995. Los 46 jóvenes (27 mujeres) tenían una edad promedio de 18.97 años (16.04 - 22.93). La estatura media de las mujeres fue de -0,71 sDS (0.20) y -0.75 sDS (0.22) en varones. Se detectó baja estatura en 2 mujeres (7.4%) y 1 varón (5.3%). La incidencia global de baja estatura es de 6.5% (AU)


Infants born prematurely with a very low birth weight more often have short stature in adulthood. In Argentina there are no reports on final height in these children. We evaluated weight and height of 46 adolescents and young adults from the city of Buenos Aires with a history of prematurity and very low birth weight who were discharged from seven Departments of Neonatology in the city of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires between 1990 y 1995. The 46 youth (27 females) had a mean age of 18.97 years (16.04 ­ 22.93). Mean height of the women was -0.71 SDS (0.20) and mean height of the men was -0.75 SDS (0.22). Low stature was observed in two women (7.4%) and one man (5.3%). Overall incidence of short stature was 6.5%. (AU)
