Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology conducted a systematic review on the motor outcomes of individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) at term. The study found that being born SGA at term may be a risk factor for poorer motor outcomes throughout childhood, with a meta-analysis confirming this in early childhood. Further research is needed to determine the risk of adult motor difficulties in individuals born SGA at term. The study included 13 original articles, with 54% reporting poorer motor scores in individuals born SGA at term compared to controls. [Extracted from the article]
