Resumo: This study was aimed to assess the relationship between hospital admission for diarrhea and pneumonia in the first three years of life and anthropometry and body composition in 18-year-old men. In 1982, all live births in the city s hospital were identified and followed-up several times. In 2000, males were identified and examined when enrolling in the national Army, were evaluated 2250 individuals of the original members of the cohort. Multiple linear regression models were used in multivariable analyses. When analyses were adjusted, admission for pneumonia in the first two years of life was negatively associated with later height. Boys with two or more admissions, were 2.40 cm shorter (IC95% -4.19;-0.61 cm) at age 18 compared to those without admissions. Admission for diarrhea and pneumonia in infancy did not have an impact on weight, body mass index or body composition, suggesting that later recovery of weight deficit in infancy did not occur at expense of fat mass accumulation.
