Abstract

Introduction: Birth weight and gestational age influence children’s quality of life and must be taken into account when evaluating aspects of development. Purpose: verify the performance in evaluating the expressive vocabulary in children, born full-term and small for gestational age (SGA) and compare it with children born at term and with appropriate weight for gestational age(AGA). Method: cross-sectional study, typified as analytical, with convenience sampling, unpaired and nested to a cohort. A total of 36 children were evaluated, between four and seven years, 24 (66.7%) of whom were classified as SGA; and 12 (33%) as AGA. Expressive vocabulary was evaluated using the ABFW children’s language test. The results were evaluated by means of descriptive and analytical analysis, using unpaired t test, Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results: the average of designation of the usual word was lower in all semantic fields, except in the conceptual field of clothing. Differences were also observed for transport facilities (p=0.002) and shapes and colors (p=0.011). The average of non-designation was above or equal in all conceptual fields, with a significant difference for food (p=0.019), furniture and utensils (p=0.020) and places (p=0.049). The averages of the substitution process were higher in most semantic fields, with a difference only for transport facilities (p=0.002). Conclusion: SGA children born full-term performed less than expected in expressive vocabulary tests when compared to AGA children.
