The ratioes of male to female in appropriate for gestational age (AGA), small for gestational age with catch-up growth (CUG-SGA) and small for gestational age with no catch-up growth (NCUG-SGA) groups were 26/30, 29/25 and 41/28. No significant differences were observed in the ratio of male to female among the three groups (p>0.05). *P<0.05 CUG-SGA or NCUG-SGA vs AGA; # P<0.05 CUG-SGA vs NCUG-SGA; Data are means±SD.
