Children with positive and negative behavior problems had significantly higher fat% at 24 months (20.62 ± 4.30% vs. ResultsĬhildren with gross motor delays had significantly lower FFM at 18 months (8.01 ± 0.97 kg vs.

Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 24 months on the INTER-NDA (INTERGROWTH-21st Project Neurodevelopment Assessment) ( n = 132). FFM, FM, and fat% were estimated using measured deuterium dilution method. Prospective, observational study nested within the larger Multi-Center Body Composition Reference Study. We examined associations between fat free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) accretion during the first 1000 days of life and neurodevelopment in term-born, low-risk infants from Karachi, Pakistan.
