1208 Pilot Study on Assisting Primary Care Decision Making in Preschoolers with Asthma-Like Symptoms (PALS-PC Study)

Abstract

Posters 598 diastolic in 7 children. The mean standard deviation score (SDS) of weight/height ratio was -0.45 (range:-1.8 to 1.2 SDS) and mean SDS of fat fold thickness was -1,04 (range: -2.6 to 1.1 SDS). None of the examined children was obese (mean BMI: 14.9; range 10.9-20.1). Serum IGF-1 levels were within normal limits in all children. Conclusions:Lipids abnormalities and increased blood pressure are common in preschool ELBW infants, although the children examined were slimmer than their peers. It may be speculated that ELBW might be a risk factor for atypical metabolic syndrome not related to obesity.
