“…However, the period of ape infancy is longer, so the growth achieved by both is comparable at the end of infancy. It is interesting that there is an inverse relationship between human birth weight and infant growth rate, so that the length of the early developmental period and size achieved by its end are more or less the same for normal and for premature babies (table IX) [Babson, 1970].…”

“…Os trabalhos que avaliam o crescimento de crianças com BPN, quase sempre prematuras, crescem em importância, tendo em vista as atuais possibilidades de sobrevivência de crianças com muito baixo peso ao nascer. O que se tem observado é que, mesmo em condições ambientais adequadas e com o necessário suporte nutricional, os prematuros apresentam uma curva de crescimento paralela, porém em percentis menores do que o padrão de referência nos primeiros anos de vida, e tanto mais afastada quanto menor o peso ao nascer 27,28 . A nossa opção em considerar com evolução favorável as crianças situadas entre os percentis 2,5 e 10 (curvas ascendentes e paralelas à mediana) foi justamente para não classificar como desnutrida uma criança com evolução dentro do esperado.…”

“…Babson [8] and Slier and Brown [9,10] have called attention to the more rapid increase in OFC of preterm infants than would be expected from standard curves. The information included in these studies of small numbers of infants from the pre-CT era indicates that rapid head growth in preterm infants who are essentially normal should not be surprising, consistituting so-called 'catch-up' growth.…”
