Preterm Birth and Cardiometabolic Health Trajectories From Birth to Adulthood: The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
Few, modest differences in cardiometabolic health were found in those born preterm versus term. All disappeared by age 25 years, except the small difference in systolic blood pressure. Longer follow-up is needed to establish if and when cardiometabolic health trajectories diverge between these 2 groups.
