Premature Birth Elevates Risk of Death
A study of data of more than 600,000 people born in Sweden between 1973 and 1979 showed a connection between premature birth and early death.
Researchers from Stanford University in California, who conducted the study said, "The underlying mechanisms are still largely unknown but may involve a complex interplay of foetal and post-natal (post birth) nutritional abnormalities, other intra-uterine exposures including glucocorticoid (a steroid hormone) and sex hormone alterations, and common genetic factors. Clinicians will increasingly encounter the consequences of pre-term birth throughout the life course and will need to be aware of the long-term effects on the survivors, their families and society."
