Studies about effects of IUGR on growth in childhood as well as on body size, body composition and physical performance in adolescence and adulthood are reviewed. The review is based on 12 studies that distinguished IUGR from other types of low birthweight and compared outcomes of IUGR cases with those of non-IUGR controls. This information is complemented by results of a follow-up study of IUGR cases and controls carried out in Guatemalan adolescents and young adults. In Guatemala as well as in other countries, IUGR newborns showed partial catch-up growth during the first one or two years of life, and then maintained their achieved place in the growth distribution. Guatemalan IUGR cases were shorter, lighter and weaker than non-IUGR controls as adolescents and young adults. The differences in adult body size observed in Guatemala between cases and controls are similar to those found in more affluent countries (i.e. about 5 cm in height and 5 kg in weight).
本文综述了关于宫内生长受限（IUGR）对儿童期生长以及青少年期和成年期身体大小、身体成分和体能影响的研究。该综述基于12项研究，这些研究将IUGR与其他类型的低出生体重区分开来，并比较了IUGR病例与非IUGR对照的结果。危地马拉青少年和年轻人中IUGR病例及对照的随访研究结果补充了这一信息。在危地马拉以及其他国家，IUGR新生儿在生命的头一两年表现出部分追赶生长，然后在生长分布中保持其已达到的位置。危地马拉的IUGR病例在青少年期和成年期比非IUGR对照更矮、更轻、更弱。在危地马拉观察到的病例与对照在成年期身体大小上的差异与在更富裕国家发现的差异相似（即身高约5厘米，体重约5千克）。
