Introduction: Small size at birth is only a proxy for the pathological process of intrauterine growth restriction.Aim: To study the effect of different birth weights on postnatal growth.Method: We studied the linear growth of 59 infants who were born preterm (GA = 33.5 +/- 2.2 weeks) with birth weight >1.5 < 2.5 kg) for two years.
