Short stature in children born SGA. The graph reports the rate of children <− 2 SDS at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years of age by gestational age group (preterm: < 37 weeks; term: ≥37 weeks) and for all the sample; short stature rates at each age were compared between gestation groups (*p < 0.01). The table reports height SDS (median and IQR) and the number of children with height < − 2 SDS, <− 2.5 SDS, and those for which data about height were available over the years
