Abstract
Small for gestational age (SGA) newborns have increased neonatal morbidity and mortality besides having a high risk of contracting chronic diseases during adult life. We compared foot length among 700 SGA and AGA newborns. Foot length was shorter in SGA newborns, both in term and preterm babies. Fetal growth restriction may impair foot growth and this finding may contribute to identify SGA newborns.Keywords: Foot length; fetal growth restriction; small for gestational age
