Linear growth trajectories of SGA-LBW infants are less studied in South Asian settings including India.<h4>Objectives</h4>To describe the linear growth trajectories of the SGA-LBW infants compared with appropriate-for-gestational-age LBW (AGA-LBW) infants during the first 6 months of life. In addition, we estimated catch-up growth (ΔLAZ > 0.67) in SGA-LBW infants and their performance against the WHO linear growth velocity cut-offs. Additionally, we studied factors associated with poor catch-up growth in SGA-LBW infants.<h4>Methods</h4>The data utilized came from an individually randomFrontiers in nutrition827589https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9173003biostudies-literatureLinear Growth Trajectories, Catch-up Growth, and Its Predictors Among North Indian Small-for-Gestational Age Low Birthweight Infants: A Secondary Data Analysis.PMC9173003Choudhary TSNitika NSinha BMazumder SKumar MBhandari NTaneja SfalseLinear Growth Trajectories, Catch-up Growth, and Its Predictors Among North Indian Small-for-Gestational Age Low Birthweight Infants: A Secondary Data Analysis.<h4>Background</h4>Low birthweight small-for-gestational-age (SGA-LBW) (birthweight below the 10th percentile for gestational age; SGA-LBW) infants are at an increased risk of poor postnatal growth outcomes.
