Thus, the preterms retain their intrauterine growth potential, the IUGR infants experience somewhat delay in catch up growth. Barros et al also noticed that, preterm children despite their earlier disadvantage gradually caught up with their appropriate birth weight counterparts, and this catch-up occurred during the later period of childhood.

children, however, exhibited no such catch-up and were unable to recover their nutritional handicaps and remained small and underweight. Indeed, their average monthly growth rates between measurements were always lower than those of children in the other two groups, as also found in present study
