Adoption studies have also shown that malnourished children adopted into wealthier households during their first few years of life experience substantial catch-up in linear growth.
Regarding the different subgroups, more substantial catch-up growth was observed for the SGA boys, especially for those of ≥32 weeks (mean SD-score change of 0.37).
Their height data are plotted in Figure 6, which again shows substantial catch-up during an extended pubertal growth phase; boys caught up from −1.25 to −0.5 HAZ and girls caught up from −1.1 to −0.2 HAZ.
In terms of height, firstborns were born shorter than later borns, although not significantly so, but showed substantial catch-up growth within the first year of life, such that they were already significantly taller than later borns by 1 year of age, as well as above the reference mean.
For example, Latal-Hajnal, et al. (2003) demonstrated that small-for-gestational-age infants who showed substantial catch-up growth, with weight above the 10th percentile at two years of age, had neurodevelopmental outcomes comparable to appropriate-for-gestational-age children whose weight remained in the appropriate range at the two year age milestone [ 27].
Substantial IUU catches for toothfish Dissostichus spp. have been recorded in the Southern Ocean.
We show that substantial height catch-up occurs between 24 mo and midchildhood and again between midchildhood and adulthood, even in the absence of any interventions.
But while Nickelodeon has poured tens of millions of dollars into the development of new animated hits, a parade of efforts — "El Tigre," "The X's," "Catscratch," "Mighty B," "Back at the Barnyard" — have failed to catch substantial wind.
The draft proposal of the agreement worried Latin American countries because it legitimized scientific whaling in the Southern Ocean by Japan and did not call for a substantial reduction in catch.
Additionally, models indicate little support for the hypothesis that characteristics such as length and displacement of the contracted vessels used in this survey have a substantial impact on catch rates.
