White Matter and Cognition in Adults Who Were Born Preterm
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Individuals born very preterm (before 33 weeks of gestation, VPT) are at risk of damage to developing white matter, which may affect later cognition and behaviour. METHODS We used diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) to assess white matter microstructure (fractional anisotropy; FA) in 80 VPT and 41 term-born individuals (mean age 19.1 years, range 17-22, and 18.5 years, range ...
متن کاملCardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young Adults Who Were Born Preterm
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 cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults who were born at any degree of prematurity in the Preterm Birth and Early Life Programming of Adult Health and Disease (ESTER) Study, a population-based cohort study of in...
متن کاملPersonality in Adults Who Were Born Very Preterm
AIM To investigate the personality in very preterm individuals (VPT; gestational age, GA, <32 weeks) at adult age in two cohorts born in 1974-76 and 1980-82, respectively, and to illuminate the effect of increased survival rates and the clinical implications of deviations in personality. METHOD Demographic data were extracted for all individuals born in Denmark in 1974-76 and 1980-82. From ea...
متن کاملFunctional Neuroanatomy of Executive Function after Neonatal Brain Injury in Adults Who Were Born Very Preterm
Individuals who were born very preterm (VPT; <33 gestational weeks) are at risk of experiencing deficits in tasks involving executive function in childhood and beyond. In addition, the type and severity of neonatal brain injury associated with very preterm birth may exert differential effects on executive functioning by altering its neuroanatomical substrates. Here we addressed this question by...
متن کاملAdolescents who were born very preterm have decreased brain volumes.
Infants born very preterm have an increased risk of brain injury. Given the great increase in the number of such infants that are surviving, it is important to establish whether any resultant brain abnormalities persist into adolescence and adult life. We therefore examined in vivo whole brain, grey matter, white matter and hippocampal volumes, ventricular size and grey/white matter ratios in a...
