| Abstract |
Accelerated growth in postnatal life in low birth weight infants has been associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome-related disorders in later life. Postnatal accelerated growth in also common in normal birth weight infants, but little is known about the impact on metabolic health. In a prospective cohort study of 203 term normal birth weight infants, we evaluated the impacts of accelerated (Δweight Z score > 0.5) or decelerated (Δweight ΔZ < -0.5) growth during early (0-3 months) and late (3-12 months) postnatal life on metabolic health indicators at age 1-year. The primary outcomes were homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), β-cell function [homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β)], and fasting plasma lipids. Adjusting for maternal, paternal, and infant characteristics, accelerated growth during the first 3 months of life was associated with a 41.6% (95% confidence interval 8.9-84.2%) increase in HOMA-β, and a 8.3% (0.7-15.4%) decrease in fasting plasma total cholesterols, and was not associated with HOMA-IR in infants at age 1-year. Accelerated growth during 3-12 months was associated with a 30.9% (3.3-66.0%) increase in HOMA-IR and was not associated with HOMA-β. Neither accelerated nor decelerated growth was associated with fasting plasma triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations in infants at age 1-year. Accelerated growth during early postnatal life may be beneficial for β-cell function, but during late postnatal life harmful for insulin sensitivity in normal birth weight infants. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 December 2017.
All research outputs
#17,292,294
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in endocrinology
#5,292
of 13,021 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#279,941
of 445,848 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in endocrinology
#45
of 103 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,021 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 445,848 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 103 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
