The preponderance of evidence demonstrates that inadequate nutrient intake during early life can program low adult muscle mass. Moreover, the developmental age when nutritional rehabilitation can be restored following an episode of poor nutrition may be as critical as the duration or severity of the nutrient restriction. Identification of the factors responsible for this age-dependent response, as well as clarification of the role of specific nutrients in modulating the responses, will facilitate translation of the findings to human infants. The results emphasize the importance of considering developmental age in the nutritional management of infants undergoing catchup growth and those for whom standard feeding is precluded.
