Objective This work investigates the relationship between early body composition changes and neurodevelopment at 1 year age corrected for prematurity (CA).Study design A prospective, longitudinal study to measure body composition weekly in 34 very low birth weight preterm infants using air displacement plethysmography, beginning when infants stabilized after birth until discharge. Neurodevelopmental testing (Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III) was performed at 12 months CA. Linear mixed effects models were used to obtain inpatient subject-specific changes in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM), which were then used as predictors of Bayley subscale scores in subsequent linear regression models, adjusting for potential confounders. Protein and energy provision were calculated for the first week of life.Results Greater FFM gains while inpatient were associated with improved cognitive and motor scores at 12 months CA (P = .002 for both). These relationships remained significant when adjusting for birth weight, gestational age, and intraventricular hemorrhage (P
