Full Abstract

74 small for date babies were investigated at the age of 10 years. The first part of the paper deals with the children's physical development and state of health. An attempt to correlate the degree of intrauterine malnutrition and postnatal development was made taking into account possible etiological factors, genetic, pre- and postnatal influences. Four children who had been exposed to several harmful intrauterine factors showed general developmental retardation. All the other childrens demonstrated normal physical development including the group who had shown signs of prolonged intrauterine malnutrition.
