title: [The course of physical development of children born premature].
abstract: Physical development of 474 preterm (born at 30-37 weeks) children was evaluated in infancy (n = 157), preschool (n = 154), and school (n = 163) age. Small-for-date children and children corresponding to their gestation age were retrospectively distinguished. Control group consisted of 474 age and sex-matched children born after full-term gestation. Physical health status of preterm children of early, preschool, and school age is characterized by specific structural and dynamic features, qualitatively and quantitatively differing from the values in full-term controls. With aging, the effect of medical psychosocial risk factors on physical development decreases.
