Insulin resistance and adiponectin levels are associated with height catch-up growth in pre-pubertal Chinese individuals born small for gestational age

Table 1 Grouping criteria for the SGA and AGA groups

①SGA-I with catch-up growth (n=40; 23F, 17M)	Birth length SDS< −2, Height SDS_Corrected>−2 and △BMI SDS>0.
②SGA-II with catch-up growth ( n =16; 7F, 9M)	Birth length SDS< −2, Height SDS_Corrected>−2 and △BMI SDS≤0
③SGA-I without catch-up growth ( n =37; 16F, 21M)	Birth length SDS< −2, Height SDS_Corrected≤−2 and △Height SDS≤0 and △BMI SDS>0
④SGA-II without catch-up growth ( n =18; 8F, 10M)	Birth length SDS< −2, Height SDS_Corrected≤−2 and △Height SDS≤0 and △BMI SDS≤0
⑤AGA( n =52; 23F, 29M)	Birth length SDS≥ −2 and ≤2, Height SDS_Corrected>−2

AGA: Appropriate for gestational age; SGA: Small for gestational age; BMI: Body mass index; Height SDS_Corrected: Actual height SDS minus target height SDS; △Height SDS: Current height SDS corrected minus birth length SDS; △BMI SDS: Current BMI SDS minus birth BMI SDS.
