目的：被归类为小于胎龄的婴儿被认为是在不利的子宫内条件下发育的，这些条件导致缺乏脂肪量增加。本研究的目的是检验零假设，即在足月相当年龄评估的早产小于胎龄儿的脂肪量与足月小于胎龄儿的脂肪量没有差异。设计：观察性研究。地点：北方意大利。患者：67名小于胎龄早产儿和132名小于胎龄足月新生儿。主要结果指标：通过儿科空气置换体积描记系统评估的生长和身体组成，在早产儿的足月等效年龄和足月新生儿的第三天进行测量。早产儿的平均（SD）胎龄为30.6（2.3）周，平均（SD）出生体重为1140（237）g。在评估时，早产儿和足月儿的体重没有差异，而早产儿的总体脂量百分比较高（14.3%（SD 4.7%）vs 5.8%（SO 3.5%），p
Objective: Infants classified as small for gestational age are considered to have developed under adverse, intrauterine conditions that lead to lack of fat mass accretion. The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that the fat mass in preterm small for gestational age infants assessed at term equivalent age was not different from that of full-term small for gestational age newborns.Design: Observational study.Setting: Northern Italy.Patients: 67 small for gestational age preterm infants and 132 small for gestational age full-term newborns.Main outcome measures: Growth and body composition, assessed by means of a paediatric air displacement plethysmography system, were measured at term equivalent age in the preterm infants and on the third day of life in the full-term newborns.Results: The mean (SD) gestational age of preterm infants was 30.6 (2.3) weeks and their mean (SD) birth weight was 1140 (237) g. At assessment weight was not different between the preterm and full-term infants, whereas the percentage of total body fat mass was higher in the preterm infants (14.3% (SD 4.7%) vs 5.8% (SO 3.5%), p
