Intellectual
performance in young adult males born small for
gestational age.

University, Sweden.
Background: Children born small for gestational
age (SGA) have an increased risk for minimal neurologic
dysfunctions and reduced scores in developmental
tests in childhood.
Methods and material: The Swedish Birth Register,
held by the National Board of Health and Welfare
contains data on more than 99% of all births in
Sweden since 1973. The registry includes data on
maternal demographics, reproductive history, and
complications during pregnancy, delivery and the
neonatal period. All births and deaths are validated
every year against another central population register,
using the mothers' and the infants' unique personal
identification number, assigned to each Swedish
resident at birth. The Swedish Conscript Register
includes information about Swedish males, conscripted
for military service. Conscription is mandatory
and enforced by law. At conscription, a computerized
test for intellectual performance as well as height
and weight are measured. This study is based on
254,426 male conscripts, of whom 3.9% were SGA,
defined as shorter or/and lighter than-2 SDS. Catch
up growth was defined as an adult height above -2SDS
in an individual born SGA.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to analyse
the relations between size at birth, gestational
age, final height and intellectual performance,
in a large cohort of young adult males.
Results: Low birth weight,
short birth length and preterm birth increased the
risk of subnormal intellectual performance. Males born SGA with catch-up growth and thus obtaining
normal height at conscription performed better in
intellectual performance compared with SGA males
without catch-up growth. Those born short only,
were better off than those born light only. Those
born short and light were worst off. Within all
the different SGA subgroups the risk of subnormal
performance was significantly higher in those without
catch-up growth. Compared with boys born appropriate
for gestational age, males born SGA had increased
risk of subnormal performance in all four dimensions
studied, and the risk did not vary substantially
between the dimensions.
Conclusions: All subgroups
of SGA born males had an increased risk of subnormal
intellectual performance. Spontaneous catch-up growth
in height was associated with a risk reduction in
all groups. The risk affected all dimensions of
intellectual performance.

Definition of fluorosis: Chronic poisoning: Intake of more
than 6 mg of fluoride per day results in fluorosis. Symptoms
are weight loss, brittleness
of bones, anemia, weakness, general ill health, stiffness
of joints...
