Abstract
Aim
To evaluate the association of physical activity (PA) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak oxygen consumption (pVO2), body mass index (BMI) and body composition in preterm‐born individuals.
…Being born small for gestational age (SGA) is considered a developmental vulnerability. Alternatively, SGA may be viewed as a marker for individual susceptibility to environmental experiences. The aim was to test if individuals born SGA are more susceptible to both negative and positive environmental experiences assessed by sensitive parenting in childhood compared with those born appropriate for gestational age (AGA).
…Highlights
• Higher maternal early pregnancy BMI is associated with lower diurnal salivary cortisol levels in young adult offspring, especially in the morning.
• Higher maternal early pregnancy body mass index (BMI) is associated with lower salivary cortisol levels at awakening in young adult offspring.
• Whether these findings reflect prenatal programming of the offspring HPA-axis activity warrants further investigation
…
He comments: “These standards will help to reduce morbidity and increase the quality of life for preterm children and their families.”

Individuals born preterm are at risk of later developmental problems and long‐term morbidities. There is conflicting evidence regarding musculoskeletal pain in young adulthood. We investigated the prevalence of self‐reported musculoskeletal pain in young adults born across the range of preterm birth compared with a term‐born reference group.
