Introduction: Infants whose weight is > the 90th percentile for gestational age are classified as large for gestational age (LGA). Catch-up and catch-down growth can be defined as an increase or decrease in WAZ by > 0.67 SD respectively during the infantile period. It was suggested that in LGA rapid catch-up and/or no catch-down during infancy may be associated with the development of overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) during childhood.<p class="abstex...

Introduction: Large for date (LGA) infants may have a higher tendency to become obese and tall. Catch-up and/or catch-down in linear growth, defined as an increase or decrease in length for age Z score (LAZ) by > 0.67 SD during the infantile period, may affect this tendency. Additionally, head circumference is well correlated with brain growth.Aim: We evaluated the prevalence of tall stature (LAZ > 1 and> 2) and...
