What Is Adjusted Age?

Adjusted age (corrected age) accounts for prematurity when tracking infant development. It is recommended by AAP and CDC until about 24 months. Related: Gestational Age Calculator.

Adjusted Age Formula

$$\text{adjusted age} = \text{chronological age} - (280 - \text{gestational days at birth})$$

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I stop using adjusted age?

Most clinicians switch to chronological age after 24 months corrected age.

What is full-term gestation?

40 weeks, or 280 days, is the standard full-term reference.

Can I use due date instead of gestational age?

Yes. The difference between due date and birth date equals the prematurity correction.

Why report 18- and 22-month dates?

These milestones are common developmental checkpoints for preterm follow-up.

Does this replace pediatric assessment?

No. Always discuss growth and development with your pediatrician.
