This study evaluated growth and development in premature infants having Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD). Seventeen children, now approximately one year old, were studied to evaluate selected anthropometric measurements and 24-hour dietary intakes and to interpret eating behaviors. Anthropometric measurements of BPD infants were all significantly below the standards for premature infants without BPD; dietary intake of grains by both infants and mothers, as well as intake of fruits and vegetables were less than 67% of the recommendations; feeding behaviors were reported in 15% of the children requiring dietary modification; developmental stages of gross motor activities were below normal in approximately one-third. A strong negative linear relationship was determined between growth measurements and post-birth hospitalization.
