Abstract

The study was conducted to compare growth status, blood pressure, self esteem and intelligence of 200 low birthweight (LBW) and 224 normal birthweight (NBW) adolescents at 13 years of age. Intelligence scores at or below the 25th percentile (low performance) were observed among 51.4% LBW and 41.7% NBW adolescents (<0.05). Statistically significant lower scores for self esteem (mean difference 4.31, 95% CI 1.91-6.71) were observed among LBW adolescents. Height, weight and body mass index (BMI) were lower among all LBW adolescents and the difference reached statistical significance for weight and BMI among LBW adolescent girls.

摘要

本研究旨在比较200名低出生体重（LBW）青少年和224名正常出生体重（NBW）青少年在13岁时的生长状况、血压、自尊和智力。在低出生体重青少年中，51.4%的人智力得分处于或低于第25百分位（低表现），而正常出生体重青少年中的这一比例为41.7%（<0.05）。低出生体重青少年的自尊得分在统计学上显著较低（平均差异4.31，95%可信区间1.91 - 6.71）。所有低出生体重青少年的身高、体重和体重指数（BMI）均较低，低出生体重少女的体重和BMI差异具有统计学意义。
