Children born preterm may have aberrant adiposity. At school age, we evaluated body fat and fat distribution in 45 former preterm infants (birth weight < or = 1800 g and gestational age < 34 weeks) and 40 children born at term using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Children born preterm exhibited lower total body fat mass and total body fat mass index compared with children born at term. Fat mass indexes in the limbs but not the trunk were lower in children born preterm than in children born at term. In conclusion, children born preterm, evaluated at school age, may be at risk for altered regional adiposity.
早产出生的儿童可能存在异常肥胖。在学龄期,我们使用双能X线吸收法评估了45名 former preterm infants(出生体重≤1800克且胎龄<34周)和40名足月出生儿童的体脂肪和脂肪分布。与足月出生的儿童相比,早产出生的儿童全身脂肪量和全身脂肪量指数较低。早产出生儿童四肢的脂肪量指数低于足月出生儿童,但躯干的脂肪量指数并非如此。总之,在学龄期评估的早产出生儿童可能存在局部肥胖改变的风险。
