Title of project:
Preterm birth and health across the life-course
Proposal summary:
Survival of people born prematurely (defined as <37 weeks of gestation) has improved over recent decades due to improvements in ante and postnatal care. The long-term health consequences of being born early are only just coming to light. Here we propose to study the health outcomes of participants born prematurely compared to those born at term, with a particular focus on growth, cardiometabolic and reproductive health.
Impact of research:
This research will increase our understanding of the effects of prematurity and across the early life course and may potentially inform prevention opportunities downstream.
