Abstract

Risk of subsequent short stature remains unclear among mild small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants with birthweight <10th percentile and ≥-2 standard deviations. In this multicenter cohort study in Japan, height was found to be <-2 standard deviations at 3 years old even in 18 % of mild-SGA infants.
