Background Recent studies suggest that small newborns who present rapid postnatal growth may have an increased risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. On the other hand, it is widely assumed that catch-up growth is desirable for low birthweight children, but the literature on this subject is limited. Methods Population-based cohort study in southern Brazil, with 3582 children examined at birth, 20 and 42 months of age. Catch-up growth from 0 to 20 months was related to subsequent risks of hospital admissions and mortality. Results Children who were small-for-gestational-age (SGA) but presented substantial weight gain (>=0.66 z-score) up to the age of 20 months had 65% fewer subsequent hospital admissions than other SGA children (5.6% versus 16.0% ; P
