Growth, bone health, and later outcomes in infants born preterm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One in ten babies worldwide are born preterm every year; over 90% of these are born in low and middle-income countries such as Brazil.1 Improvements in neonatal intensive care and increased survival of preterm infants has led to an increasing focus on the long-term impacts of preterm birth, specifically with respect to metabolic outcomes such as bone mineral density (BMD) and timing and extent of catch-up growth.

Does early nutrition program later bone health in preterm infants?
Preterm infants are at risk of metabolic bone disease (MBD) because of an inadequate mineral intake. Although infants with MBD are frequently asymptomatic during the neonatal period, we previously reported that MBD predicted reduced linear growth in infancy and midchildhood. Nevertheless, some studies suggest that preterm infants undergo catch-up growth in bone mineralization during infancy. To...
متن کاملCatch-Up Growth and Metabolic and Cognitive Outcomes in Adolescents Born Preterm.
The worldwide rate of premature birth is increasing. Survival has also improved, even for very preterm infants, meaning greater numbers of preterm infants surviving into later life. This has led to greater attention being focused on long-term outcomes. Recent interest in the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease has highlighted the importance of early life growth and nutritional exposures...
متن کاملNeurobehaviour between birth and 40 weeks’ gestation in infants born <30 weeks’ gestation and parental psychological wellbeing: predictors of brain development and child outcomes
BACKGROUND Infants born <30 weeks' gestation are at increased risk of long term neurodevelopmental problems compared with term born peers. The predictive value of neurobehavioural examinations at term equivalent age in very preterm infants has been reported for subsequent impairment. Yet there is little knowledge surrounding earlier neurobehavioural development in preterm infants prior to term ...

Background: Whilst prevention of growth faltering has both shortand long-term health benefits, whether too fast or accelerated infant growth adversely affects later health outcomes is controversial and a major focus of research. Summary: Many observational studies suggest that rapid weight gain in infancy (upward centile crossing) increases the long-term risk of obesity and non-communicable dis...
متن کاملPostnatal growth in preterm infants and later health outcomes: a systematic review
UNLABELLED In preterm infants, poor postnatal growth is associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes; conversely, rapid postnatal growth is supposedly harmful for future development of metabolic diseases. CONCLUSION In this systematic review, observational studies reported consistent positive associations between postnatal weight or head growth and neurocognitive outcomes; however, there w...
