Abstract：Objective:To discuss the relationship between Ghrelin,IGF-1 levels and CUG of small full-term gestational age(SGA).Method:50 cases of SGA(the research group) and 50 cases of AGA(the control group) were selected,all were compared Ghrelin,IGF-1 of the two groups on the third day of birth, and compared Ghrelin,IGF-1 leve of SGA who had CUG(the research group 1),SGA who had no CUG(the research group 2) and the control group after born 1 month and 1 year,and analysed the relationship of Ghrelin,IGF-1 and body length,body weight,head circumference,BMI of the three groups after born 1 year.Result:The Ghrelin level was higher and the IGF-1 level of the research group was lower than those in the control group on the third day of birth(P<0.05), after born 1 month and 1 year and there had obvious difference between the research group 2 and the control group on Ghrelin,IGF-1(P<0.05).Ghrelin and body weight,BMI had negative correlation,IGF-1 and body weight had positive correlation.Conclusion:SGA whose has low weight after born 1 months should test Ghrelin and IGF-1 and promote the level of catch-up growth in time,to reduce the rate of abnormal growth of SGA.
