Impact of size at birth and postnatal growth on metabolic and neurocognitive outcomes in prematurely born school-age children

Abstract Prematurity, size at birth, and postnatal growth are important factors that determine cardiometabolic and neurodevelopmental outcomes later in life. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the associations between the size at birth and growth velocity after birth with cardiometabolic...
