Body Composition in Adults Born at Very Low Birthweight—A Sibling Study Background Individuals born preterm at very low birthweight (VLBW, < 1500 g) tend to attain a smaller adult body size compared with term-born peers but less is known regarding specific body composit...

📣 New research:

In this Finnish cohort comprising 77 young adults born #preterm at very low birth weight, #VLBW, <1500g) & 70 term-born siblings, we found that those born at VLBW had more centralized fat distribution & lower appendicular skeletal muscle mass compared with their siblings…
