Background The mechanisms responsible for the associations between very preterm birth
and a higher risk of poor cardiovascular and metabolic health in adult life are unknown …

Preterm birth incurs an increased risk of early cardiovascular events and death. In the
general population, cardiovascular risk factors cluster in the context of inflammation and …

Extremely preterm birth reflects global disruption of the third trimester environment. Young
adults born preterm have an adverse cardiovascular and metabolic health profile, together …

There are well-established morbidities associated with preterm birth including respiratory,
neurocognitive and developmental disorders. However several others have recently …

Preterm birth (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is a global health problem,
remaining the main reason for neonatal mortality and morbidity. Improvements in perinatal …

Background Recent epidemiological evidence has shown increased rates of cardiovascular
mortality and associated risk factors in those born small. However, scarce information exists …

Our investigation addresses the hypothesis that disruption of third trimester development by
preterm birth alters multiple biological pathways affecting metabolic health in adult life. We …

Adults who were born preterm with a very low birth weight have higher blood pressure and
impaired glucose regulation later in life compared with those born at term. We investigated …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of preterm birth on risk factors for cardiovascular
disease (CVD), independent of birth size. STUDY DESIGN: Observational study using data …
