Search for: [Abstract = "dren born with IUGR exhibits short stature, i.e. below \(\-2\) SDS and below average height of parents, during preadolescence age. This represents an almost three\-fold increase in comparison to children with body mass appropriate for gestational age. 2. Over 90% of children born with IUGR reach correct stature during preadolescence time, consistent with their parental height that is not different from the stature of children with body mass appropriate for gestational age. 3. Factors that predispose to short stature during preadolescence among children born with IUGR are stimulants used by mothers during pregnancy, such as smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, as well as increasing parity and residing in rural areas during pregnancy. Factors such as duration of pregnancy, maternal age and parental height were found to be not significant from the examined material."]
