Abstract: Results. After controlling for neonate age at time of testing, significant differences were found between groups for %fat (12.5 +/- 4.2% vs. 13.6 +/- 4.3%; P ≤ 0.0001), fat mass (414.1 +/- 264.2 g vs. 448.3 +/- 262.2 g; P ≤ 0.05) and fat-free mass (3310.5 +/- 344.6 g vs. 3162.2 +/- 343.4 g; P ≤ 0.05), with no significant differences between birth length (50.7 +/- 2.6 cm vs. 49.6 +/- 2.6 cm; P = 0.08) or birth weight (3433.0 +/- 396.3 g vs. 3368.0 +/- 399.6 g; P = 0.44).
