The authors report the consequence of intra-uterine growth retardation on infancy and adult disease. During infancy in 7 to 10 % of cases a growth retardation less than -2 DS, is observed and subsequently needs growth hormone treatment. In adult X syndrome (hypertension, diabetes of 2 types insulino resistant and cardiovascular disease) is observed 18 times more in subjects where the birth weight was low than 2.4 kg Finally the authors give some recommendations to follow-up of the infants born with a growth restriction.
