“…19 A recently published study states that 89% of their infants had discharge weights <10th percentile. 20 Although the physical growth stunting related to postnatal malnutrition is worrisome, even more alarming is the dwindling of brain growth, possibly resulting in mental deficits that may also be related to nutritional deficiencies. 21,22 Concerns coming to light in this age of genetic discovery include the implications of early life dietary experiences including obesity and other adult-onset diseases with life-long consequences.…”

“…These mean weight Z-score at discharge are nearly identical to the first 13 and third tertile identified in a larger preterm cohort described earlier by our team [41]. A 14 negative correlation between birth weight Z-score early growth (between birth and hospital 15 discharge) has long been known in cohorts of preterm infants [41,42]. We therefore age, and protein/energy ratio in nutrition support [41].…”

“…Although 4 gestational age (30-31 weeks) and length of hospital stay (49-51 days) did not differ between 5 the groups, the group of infants with fast growth had a 25% lower birth weight combined with 6 a 69% greater gain in weight Z-score between birth and discharge. This negative correlation 7 between birth weight and weight Z-score at time of discharge has long been known, and was 8 previously reported in the large LIFT cohort of 2277 preterm infants by our team [41] and in 9 another cohort [42]. This would lead to an inconsistent stratification of our preterm infants in 10 the LACTACOL cohort if birth anthropometry homogeneity was considered jointly with an 11 opposite growth velocity.…”

“…The majority of papers of growth in relation to birth weight [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] do not include velocity curves. Nevertheless, such curves are important since they permit a better understanding of the accelerated and normal growing phases of premature infants than do simple values expressed in g/day (cm/week) or g/kg/day (cm/m/week).…”

Objective: To assess the growth velocity of preterm appropriate-for-gestational-age newborns through growth curves.Method: A longitudinal and prospective study was carried out at two state-operated maternity hospitals in Belo Horizonte. Two hundred and sixty appropriate for gestational age preterm infants with birth weight < 2,500 g were evaluated weekly for body weight, head circumference and length. Growth velocity curves were constructed based on the derivative of the mathematical equation of the Count s model applied to somatic growth. Two analyses were made in the present study: absolute velocity, i.e., weight gain (g/day), and head circumference and length gains (cm/week); and relative velocity, i.e., weight gain (g/kg/day), and head circumference and length gains (cm/m/week).Results: The curves of weight gain (g/day) were proportional to birth weight (the lowest and the highest birth weight neonates gained 15.9 and 30.1 g/day, respectively). The curves of weight gain (g/kg/day) were inversely proportional to birth weight with increasingly higher rates of weight gain between the first and fourth weeks (during the third week, the lowest and the highest weight newborns gained 18 and 11.5 g/kg/day, respectively). Later there was a drop, and by the 12th week the rates were similar for all groups (7.5 to 10.2 g/kg/day). The curves of relative velocity (cm/m/week) for head circumference and length were inversely proportional to birth weight; the lower weight preterm newborns had, the higher head circumference and length growing rates were, compared with those with more weight. Conclusion:The relative velocity is the best parameter to describe the growth dynamics of preterm infants, especially of those with lower birth weight. Lower birth weight infants gained more weight, head circumference and length.
