Introduction: Children born small for gestational age (SGA) represent a heterogeneous population, displaying different phenotypes for both growth and metabolic status. Low birth length and/or weight increases the risks for not only growth impairment but also for metabolic derangements, the latter with an even amplified risk in children with rapid postnatal weight gain. Variability in metabolic parameters, catch-up growth as well as different GH treatment responses are still po...
