Small for Gestational Age - Cognitive Performance from Infancy to Adulthood: An Observational Study.

CONCLUSIONS: SGA is associated with lower IQ throughout development, independent of VP/VLBW birth, low SES or poor parent-child relationship. Social factors have comparable effects on IQ than SGA and should be considered for interventions.
