RESUMO
Values of body height, weight and head circumference in 225 children born with low-birth-weight (LBW) were compared with the same parameters of the control groups. The group of LBW-children was subdivided into 1. "true" preterm, 2. full-term small-for-dates, 3. preterm small-for-dates. At the age of 10 years significantly higher frequencies of individuals with subnormal growth were found in all 3 groups of LBW-children. Severe degrees of growth retardation were found mainly in boys and girls born as small-for-date newborns. The worst impairment of growth was seen in children born as preterm small-for-dates where the retardation of the growth of head circumference was most striking.
