Psychological and physical health of a preterm birth cohort at age 35




JAMA Network Open






About The Study:

 In this cohort study, preterm individuals had higher early life medical risk and faced increased mental health disorders, cardiometabolic issues, and body composition differences compared with full-term peers at age 35. 

Despite strong evidence linking preterm birth to long-term health consequences, many primary care clinicians in the U.S. remain unaware of these risks, 

often due to infrequent birth history inquiries in adult health care settings.
