Résumé
Small for gestational age (SGA) infants are special populations, whose birth weights are less than the 10th percentile or two standard deviations below the mean for gestational age based on the Fenton growth chart in 2013. SGA is caused by various reasons and affects the short- and long-term health of infants. This review focused on the early health, physical and neurological development and incidence of metabolic diseases of SGA infants.
