T of neonatal morbidity and mortality and the risk of metabolic disease throughout the life span: growth re- tarded [intrauterine growth retardation/small for ges- tational age (SGA)] infants are predisposed to hypogly- cemia, hypocalcemia, hypothermia, asphyxia, and cognitive dysfunction; those who have rapid catch-up weight gain in early childhood are at increased risk for adult-onset type 2 diabetes, hypertension, preeclamp- sia, dyslipidemia, and ischemic heart disease (1).
