Does low body fat percentage in neonates greater than the 5th percentile birthweight increase the risk of hypoglycaemia and neonatal morbidity?

Abstract

Non-small-for-gestational-age babies (>5th percentile) with low BF% are at risk of hypoglycaemia and short-term morbidity. These infants will not be identified by current hypoglycaemia screening methods in centres that do not measure BF%.
