To examine self-reported and parent-reported health-related quality of life (HRQL) in adults born extremely preterm compared with control participants born at term and to evaluate trajectories of health status from adolescence to early adulthood.
…Preterm birth (birth at less than 37 weeks’ gestation) is common and represents a major contributor to global child morbidity and mortality.
…To identify trajectories of peer relationships in very preterm and term-born individuals from 6 to 26 years of age and test early-life predictors of these trajectories.
…To study self-reported well-being and self-esteem among adolescents born very preterm (VPT; <32 wk of gestation) and moderate to late preterm (MLPT; 32–36 wk of gestation) compared with those born full-term (FT) in an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis.
…Recent evidence suggests increased metabolic and physiologic aging rates in premature-born adults. While the lasting consequences of premature birth on human brain development are known, its impact on brain aging remains unclear.
…Listen to Professor Dieter Wolke talk about childhood bullying on Bar Crawl Radio
Premature-born infants have impaired amygdala structure, presumably due to increased stress levels of premature birth mediated by the amygdala.
…This study examined whether physical activity is associated with better mental health and well-being among very preterm (≤32 weeks) and term born (≥37 weeks) adolescents alike or whether the associations are stronger in either of the groups.
…Objective To determine whether improvements in school age outcomes had occurred between two cohorts of births at 22–25 weeks of gestation to women residents in England in 1995 and 2006.
…As part of this Webinar series Professor Dieter Wolke will be talking about ‘Infant Regulatory Problems and Development Trajectories’ on Friday 8th January 2021 at 21:00 hrs (GMT) Further details available:https://www.newbornbehaviorinternational.org/leaders-in-the-field-webinar
