The current review focuses on evidence for a link between early motor development and later cognitive skills in children born preterm or with Low Birth Weight (LBW). Studies with term born children consistently show such a link. Motor and cognitive impairments or delays are often seen in children born preterm or with LBW throughout childhood and studies have established a cross-sectional association between the two. However, it is not yet clear if, and if so, how, motor and cognitive skills are longitudinally interrelated in these children. Longitudinal studies with this population including measures of motor development during the first year of life and cognitive measures at later measurement points were included. The 17 studies included usually show a link between level and/or quality of motor development during the first year of life and later cognitive skills in children born preterm and/or with LBW. However, given the small number of studies, and a possible effect of early interaction between motor and cognitive skills affecting this relation, more work is clearly needed.
目前的综述重点关注早产儿或低出生体重（LBW）儿童早期运动发育与后期认知技能之间的关联证据。对于足月出生的儿童的研究一致表明存在这种关联。早产儿或 LBW 儿童在整个儿童期经常出现运动和认知障碍或延迟，研究已经确定了两者之间的横断面关联。然而，目前尚不清楚运动和认知技能是否以及如何在这些儿童中存在纵向相关性。包括生命第一年运动发育测量和以后测量点认知测量的此类人群的纵向研究包括在内。这 17 项研究通常表明，早产儿和/或 LBW 儿童生命第一年的运动发育水平和/或质量与后期认知技能之间存在关联。然而，鉴于研究数量较少，以及运动和认知技能之间的早期相互作用可能影响这种关系，显然还需要做更多的工作。
