Abstract

Background: Developmental and behavioral disorders are the most prevalent problems inchildren after infection and trauma. GROWTH and development are influenced by genetic, social and environmental factors that incept of the early life of the fetal and neonatal periods. Due to the importance of the development in children, this study was conducted to determinethe relationship between GROWTH indices at birth and developmental status in infancy. Methods: This case-control study investigated 6 to 18 months old infants, who referred tocomprehensive health centers affiliated to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from August to December 2017. The sample size in this study was 200 infants and theparticipants were evaluated in two groups of 100 subjects (developmental delay and normaldevelopment). Anthropometric indices at birth were collected from healthcare records, and developmental status was measured using the ages and stages questionnaire(ASQ). The developmental status of the children was measured in five domains, i. e., motor(gross and fine motor skills), problem-solving, personal-social skills and communication. A significance level was considered statistically <0. 05. Results: The mean age of the infants in the developmental delay group was 12. 63± 1. 72months and the mean age of the infants in control group was 12. 68± 1. 69 months and45. 6% of children in the developmental delay group were female and 54. 4% of children inthe developmental delay group were male. The most prevalence developmental delay incase group was in the area of personal-social domain (26. 9%) and the lowest prevalencedevelopmental delay in the area of the gross motor (12. 7%). No correlation was foundbetween head circumference (P= 0. 32) and height at birth (P= 0. 11) and developmentalstatus. However, there was a significant relationship between developmental delay in thearea of the communication (P= 0. 04) and gross motor (P= 0. 02) with BIRTH WEIGHT. Pearsoncorrelation indicate a correlation between developmental delay in the area of the grossmotor and BIRTH WEIGHT (P= 0. 01). Conclusion: It seems that BIRTH WEIGHT was a factor that is associated with developmentaldelay. In this study low BIRTH WEIGHT correlated with developmental delay in communicationand gross motor aspects of ASQ.
