SGA infants had a significantly higher body water content than AGA infants (906 (833\u2013954) and 844 (637\u2013958) ml\/kg respectively; median (range); p\u2009=\u20090.019). There were no differences in extracellular and intracellular fluid volumes, nor in the ratio of extracellular to intracellular fluid. Estimates of relative adiposity suggest a body fat content of about 7% in AGA infants, assuming negligible fat content in SGA infants and lean body tissue hydration to be equivalent in the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Novel values for the body water composition of the SGA preterm infant at 25\u201330 weeks gestation are presented.
