Birth weight is an important predictor of neuromotor and physiological performance in early perinatal development of mammals [1–4]. Our knowledge of the impact of birth weight on growth and performance falls into two broad categories of research.…
Infant birth weight affects neuromotor and biomechanical swallowing performance in infant pig models. Preterm infants are generally born low birth weight and suffer from delayed development and neuromotor deficits. These deficits include critical …
OBJECTIVE: To characterize growth trajectories of children who develop severe obesity by age 6 years and identify clinical thresholds for detection of high-risk children before the onset of obesity. STUDY DESIGN: Two lean (body mass index [BMI] 5th…
