Abstract

Abstract Aim: To investigate the development and behaviour of low-birthweight (LBW) term infants compared with matched term infants of appropriate birthweight ABW). Methods: Two parallel cohorts of LBW infants (1500/2499 g) and ABW controls (3000/3499 g) were enrolled at birth in northeast Brazil. At 8 y, 164 children were assessed using clinical and psychological tests. Results: The LBW group had lower IQ scores than ABW children on the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children;differences were larger on the performance (5 points, p
