Small head circumference is associated with less education in persons at risk for Alzheimer disease in later life. Studies suggest that individuals who are at increased risk for Alzheimer disease (AD) in late life differ on measures of cognition, linguistic performance,... JA Mortimer,DA Snowdon,...
Results A total of 2709 infants had a head circumference z-score 2 SD, resulting in an overall prevalence of microcephaly of 59.3 per 1000 infants, consisting of mild (54.1 per 1000), absolute (2.8 per 1000) and relative microcephaly (2.4 per 1000). In multiple logistic regression, absolute...
To study longitudinal growth pattern of head circumference of full-term symmetric and asymmetric small for gestational age (SGA) infants of the two sexes during first year of life. Mixed-longitudinal growth research design. Head circumference amongst full-term 100 symmetric, 100 asymmetric as well ...

Uppsala, Sweden [E.M.L., T.T.]; and Departments of Medical Epidemiology [S.C.] and Women's and Children's Health [B.J.], Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT Infants born small for gestational age (SGA) have an in- creased risk of neurologic and intellectual dysfunction. ...
Objective To examine the influence of postnatal energy quotient (EQ, energy intake/kg body weight per day) on head circumference (HC) growth and mental development of very low birth weight (VLBW), small for gestational age (SGA, <10th percentile) preterm infants. Study design SGA VLBW preterm...
Measurements of weight, head circumference, crown-heel length, crown-rump length, rump-heel length and limb lengths were made in 514 neonates. From these measurements the differences in trunk and limb growth and their relations with head growth and body weight were examined in small-for-gestation...
While the fetal reference classified more infants as SGA than the neonatal reference, SGA using either reference was associated with an IQ -8 points lower than those born appropriate for gestational age (AGA), with the difference narrowing into adulthood. ...
Birthweight was 2,740 g, length 48.5 cm and head circumference 31.5 cm. Asymmetry of the body was noted at the time of birth: the face, trunk and ex- tremities on the left were inferior in volume to those on the right. Salient clinical mani- festations were mental and somatic ...
The weight, length, and head circumference of the SGA infants attained the 10th percentile by 6-8 months and were similar to the AGA group. Quarterly neurological examinations showed similar findings during the first year in the 2 groups. At 2 yrs, 2 SGA (diplegia) and 1 AGA infant (hemi...
