Term SGA newborns were recruited at birth. Anthropometry and body composition were evaluated at 3 days, 6, 10 and 14 weeks, and 6 months. Fat and fat-free mass (FM and FFM) were compared between infants with and without CUG (increase in weight <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score by &gt; 0\u00b767) by air displacement plethysmography. Factors that could affect body composition and CUG, including parents\u2019 BMI and stature, infants\u2019 birth weight, sex and feeding, were evaluated. A total of 143 SGA newborns (sixty-six boys) with birth weight of 2336 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 214) g were enrolled; 109 were followed up till 6 months. Median weight <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score increased from \u22122\u00b73 at birth to \u22121\u00b73 at 6 months, with 51\u00b79 % of infants showing CUG. Infants with CUG had higher FM (1796 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 491) g <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. 1196 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 474) g, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001) but similar FFM (4969 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 508) g <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. 4870 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 622) g, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0\u00b7380), and consequently higher FM percentage (FM%) (26\u00b75 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 5\u00b78) <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>. 19\u00b77 (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc> 6\u00b79), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0\u00b7001), compared with those without CUG. Lower birth weight, exclusive breast-feeding and higher parental stature were positively associated with CUG. In conclusion, CUG in term SGA infants in the first 6 months of life was almost entirely attributable to greater gain in FM. Follow-up of this cohort will provide insight into the long-term effect of disproportionate gain in FM in early infancy in SGA babies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114524001089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]],"date-time":"2024-05-31T08:53:59Z","timestamp":1717145639000},"page":"289-297","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Body composition from birth to 6 months in term small-for-gestational-age Indian infants: effect of catch-up growth"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"132","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7652-6522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brijesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pratima","family":"Anand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harish","family":"Chellani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramesh","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6139-4686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vandana","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"container-title":["British Journal of Nutrition"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0007114524001089","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T13:22:48Z","timestamp":1728912168000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0007114524001089\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,14]]}},"alternative-id":["S0007114524001089"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0007114524001089","relation":{},"ISSN":["0007-1145","1475-2662"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0007-1145"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1475-2662"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,31]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2024.
