Abstract Background Studies on body composition in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW < 1500 g) survivors are inconsistent and trajectories later life unknown. We assessed its change from young to mid-adulthood VLBW adults. Methods studied 137 adults 158 term-born controls two cohorts Finland Norway at mean age 36 years. Body was by 8-polar bioelectrical impedance. compared results with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry measurements 24 Results In mid-adulthood, women men were shorter than...
Physical activity (PA) is beneficial for several health outcomes. Adults born with very low birth weight (VLBW<1500g) undertake less PA than those at term, have poorer motor abilities and may serve as a model on early life origins of PA. We therefore examined whether mediate the association between being VLBW device-measured In joint assessment two longitudinal cohorts from Finland Norway, was measured by tri-axial accelerometers in 87 adults preterm 109 controls term. explored mediating...
Abstract There are mixed findings regarding executive functioning in individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) at term and associations between performance-based self-reported functions have yet to be examined adults. In a prospective cohort study, 56 SGA 68 non-SGA control participants were assessed 32 years using the Trail Making Test (TMT) self-report questionnaire Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Adult Version (BRIEF-A). The group used 1.6 (95% confidence interval...
Abstract Aim To compare overall, fine, and gross motor abilities in adults born preterm with very low birthweight (VLBW) a control group of term‐born individuals. Method In joint assessment the Helsinki Study Very Low Birth Weight Adults NTNU Lifetime Perspective study, data were collected harmonized methods for 118 (gestational age < 37 weeks) VLBW (≤1500 g) 147 The primary outcome was overall abilities; secondary outcomes fine abilities. Results Bruininks Motor Ability Test Short Form...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate visual function and vision‐related general health in adults that were born preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW: < 1500 g) their 30s–40s. Methods We recruited 137 VLBW 158 term‐born controls aged 31–43 years from two cohorts: Helsinki Study Very Low Birth Weight Adults (Finland) NTNU a Lifetime Perspective (Norway). used neonatal data measured refraction, best‐corrected acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment Diabetic...
Adults born small for gestational age (SGA) have increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Physical activity (PA) is a key determinant and health-related quality life (HRQoL). We aimed to investigate if being SGA at term associated with lower objectively measured self-reported PA during adulthood. also examined were HRQoL.As part the 32-year follow-up in NTNU Low Birth Weight Lifetime Perspective study, non-SGA control participants wore two tri-axial accelerometers seven days (37 SGA, 43...
Biathlon is an Olympic winter sport combining the endurance of cross-country skiing with precision rifle shooting. Here, need to prepare body for upcoming events particularly evident. As a high heart rate can be detrimental shooting performance, it might beneficial biathletes decrease their when approaching range, whereas should ideally increased at start and facing uphill section cater physiological demands. Ten national-level, junior male skied 6–8 laps in standardized 2 km biathlon course...
There is lack of research on body composition and physical fitness in individuals born small for gestational age (SGA) at term entering mid-adulthood. We aimed to investigate these outcomes adults SGA term. This population-based cohort study included 46 with birth weight < 10th percentile (gestational ≥ 37 weeks) (22 women, 24 men) 61 (35 26 32 years. Body was examined anthropometrically by 8-polar bioelectrical impedance analysis (Seca® mBCA 515). Fitness measured maximal isometric grip...
Abstract Aim Adults born preterm have increased risk of mental health problems and other neurodevelopmental conditions. We aimed to investigate associations with pain tiredness in adults very (VP; <32 weeks) or low birthweight (VLBW; <1500 g) at term, whether these are influenced by physical activity. Methods As part an EU Horizon 2020 project, individual participant data from six prospective cohort studies were harmonised for 617 VP/VLBW 1122 term‐born participants. Mental was...
