Abstrakt: The article discusses if an association between infant growth and endothelial function is already present during discrete periods of growth during the first 5 months of life in healthy term infants. A cohort of 104 newborns was studied in the first week after birth and reexamined at the age of 6 months. Results show that growth in the first month of life is inversely associated with endothelium-dependent vasodilatation at the age of 6 months in healthy term infants, regardless of birth size.
