This first report from a population-based postnatal growth study of 3650 healthy Swedish subjects born at full term provides new reference values for height and weight and shows that over the last 20 years there has been a small secular trend in height (0.2-0.4 SDS over the whole age range) in Sweden in both boys and girls. Within this cohort, 111 (3.1%) were of low birth weight (below -2 SDS) and 141 (3.5%) were of low birth length (below -2 SDS); 54 (1.5%) were both light and short at birth. Of the children born small for gestational age, 87% showed full catch-up growth within 2 years of life. They attained puberty at a normal or early age and reached a mean final height of -0.7 SDS. The remaining subgroup of 13% born small for gestational age remained below -2 SDS throughout childhood and reached puberty somewhat early. Their mean final height was -1.7 SDS. The current data set is too small to identify possible background factors, but it is being expanded with this objective in mind.
这项基于3650名足月出生的瑞典健康受试者的产后生长研究的首份报告，提供了身高和体重的新参考值，并表明在过去20年里，瑞典男孩和女孩的身高均呈现出微小的长期趋势（在整个年龄范围内为0.2 - 0.4标准差）。在这个队列中，111名（3.1%）出生体重低（低于 -2标准差），141名（3.5%）出生身长低（低于 -2标准差）；54名（1.5%）出生时体重轻且身长短。在小于胎龄儿中，87%在2岁内实现了完全追赶生长。他们在正常或较早年龄进入青春期，最终平均身高为 -0.7标准差。其余13%的小于胎龄儿亚组在整个儿童期仍低于 -2标准差，且青春期来得稍早。他们的最终平均身高为 -1.7标准差。目前的数据集太小，无法确定可能的背景因素，但正以此为目标进行扩充。
