AbstractThe long-term consequences of transient neonatal hypoglycemia are sparsely studied. We performed a follow-up of a cohort of neonates with blood glucose recordings < 1.7 mmol/L (< 30 mg/dL), treated with > 2.5 mmol/L (> 45 mg/dL), compared with healthy siblings. Exclusion criteria were gestational age < 35 weeks, severe asphyxia, head injury, and other cerebral diseases. In 71 children with neonatal hypoglycemia and 32 control siblings, Wechsler IV cognitive test, Movement ABC-2 test, and Child Behavior Checklist were performed at mean age 7.75 and 9.17 years, respectively. No significant changes were detected for cognitive function by using Wechsler IV or for behavior by using Child Behavior Checklist. In univariate analysis, the hypoglycemia group had lower age-adjusted fine motor scores by using the Movement ABC-2 test compared with control siblings, 42.6 ± 31.2 vs. 57.2 ± 30.8 percentile (p = 0.03). In the sibling-paired analysis, the decrease in total motor score was highly significant, p = 0.009, driven by a decrease in fine motor score, p = 0.008. In the hypoglycemia group, adjusted analysis showed a lower fine motor function for boys, β = − 16.4, p = 0.048.Conclusion: Neonatal hypoglycemia treated with > 2.5 mmol/L was associated with lower fine motor scores within the normal range, particularly in boys. No associations with cognitive function or behavior were detected. What is Known:• Transient neonatal hypoglycemia is associated with acute neurologic dysfunction and long-term neurodevelopment impairment in 18 months of age. What is New:• Neonatal hypoglycemia treated with > 2.5 mmol/L is associated with lower fine motor function within the normal range, particularly in boys, but not to changes in cognitive function or behavior.

The Relationship

Abstract During aging there is a natural physiological decline that contributes to a loss of function needed for activities of daily living to maintain independence and high quality of life. Physical function needed for independence includes gross motor function (e.g., lower body strength for standing) and fine motor function (e.g., manual dexterity for dressing). Physical activity (PA) has shown to maintain fitness, such as muscular strength, to delay loss in gross motor function. However, there is limited research on the association between PA and fine motor function. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between meeting national Physical Activity Guidelines (PAG; &gt;150 min./wk.) and manual dexterity in older adults (&gt;60 years). Participants (N=45, Mean age = 80.2±8.2 years) completed an interview-assisted self-report of their PA level and an objectively measured manual dexterity assessment (i.e., Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT)). The PPT included four fine motor skill assessments. For all four PPT’s, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tests showed a significant main effect for PA level, a main effect for age, and an interaction effect (PA*age) on manual dexterity for all PPTs (ps&lt;0.05). Follow-up comparisons showed a significant main effect for PA level on manual dexterity for the older group (&gt;80yrs; ps&lt;0.05), and not for the younger group (ps&gt;0.05). Pearson’s r correlations showed significant moderate-positive correlations between activity level (min./wk.) and PPTs scores (r=0.45– 0.50; ps&lt;0.005). These findings suggest that meeting PAG may be a preventative strategy to attenuate aging declines in manual dexterity to maintain hand function and independence.
