Temperature at birth linked to health later in life
Cold outdoor temperature at birth is associated with increased coronary heart disease and insulin resistance, high cholesterol levels, and poor lung function in later life, suggests a study in Heart. This link was strongest among those from the lowest social and economic classes. Researchers examined the effects of average outdoor temperature... view more... (2004-03-09)
Low birth weight of a baby entails risks for the baby's father
Parents whose children are born with a low birth weight run greater risk of dying of cardiovascular diseases. Even the fathers are at greater risk. These findings are published in a new report by Karolinska Institutet. The report shows that genetic factors affect both birth weight and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. view more (2005-06-29)

As more extremely pre-term infants survive in Sweden, an increasing number of babies are experiencing vision problems caused by abnormalities involving the retina. view more (2009-10-13)
Study examines relationship between low birth weight and psychiatric problems in children
Low-birth-weight children appear to be at higher risk for psychiatric disturbances from childhood through high school than normal-birth-weight children, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-09-02)
IQ linked to birth weight even among children of normal birth weight
Many studies have shown that low birthweight babies have lower IQ test scores at school age, but a study in this week's BMJ finds that the association between birthweight and childhood IQ also applies to children in the normal range of birth weight. Researchers at Columbia University, and the New York Academy of Medicine examined the relation... view more... (2001-08-08)
Preemies defy odds and overcome difficulties by adulthood: Study
As young adults, the majority of extremely low birth-weight infants are attaining similar levels of education, employment and independence as normal birth-weight infants. view more (2006-02-08)
Teenagers not at higher risk during first birth, but a second may lead to complications
Teenagers giving birth for the first time are not at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, those having second births run an almost threefold risk of premature delivery and stillbirth, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Glasgow University identified over 110,000 non-smoking women, aged between 15 and 29 years,... view more... (2001-08-29)
UCL scientists gauge pain in premature babies
Scientists at UCL (University College London) have measured responses to pain in the brains of premature babies and have shown that they are likely to experience 'true' pain rather than simply displaying reflex reactions. view more (2006-04-05)
Prematurity more accurately predicted by advances in proteomic technology
Abnormal proteins in amniotic fluid that signal a higher risk of delivering prematurely are being detected with increasing accuracy by Yale School of Medicine researchers who presented their work in two abstracts at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine Conference February 8 in San Francisco. view more (2007-02-09)
2 studies: The first finds twins born after fertility treatment have a higher risk of problems
Twins born as a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) are more likely to be admitted to neonatal intensive care and to be hospitalised in their first three years of life than spontaneously conceived twins view more (2009-05-21)
Balancing hormones may help prevent preterm births

'Bigger the baby, the better' axiom is incorrect
Dr Rachel Huxley, lead author of the paper and Acting Director of Nutrition and Lifestyle at The George Institute said, "Although there was support for a small association between birth weight and an individual's future risk of heart disease, the relationship is not as strong as earlier studies have suggested. view more (2007-05-18)
Neonatologists and pediatricians highlight progress and barriers to preemie care
A recent survey of 202 neonatologists and pediatricians, which examined current attitudes and practices when caring for the specialized health needs of preterm infants, revealed that most respondents (70 percent) feel the United States' healthcare system does not place enough emphasis on or dedicate enough resources to preventive healthcare for... view more...

Babies conceived with medical assistance face high risk at birth
Babies born following medically assisted reproduction face a much higher risk of problems at birth and death during delivery, compared with babies conceived naturally, say researchers in this week's BMJ - though the outcome for twins is better. In births involving a single baby, infants fared worse than babies conceived without medical help in... view more... (2004-01-23)
Birth size is a marker of susceptibility to breast cancer later in life
Birth size, and in particular birth length, correlates with subsequent risk of breast cancer in adulthood, according to a new study published in PLoS Medicine by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. view more (2008-09-30)
Study sheds new light on link between birth weight, obesity, and childhood growth
Boys who are light at birth, but then grow rapidly during childhood, are more likely to be obese as adults, is just one of the findings from a large study in this week's BMJ. These potentially complex interrelationships may hold the key to effective preventive strategies. Tessa Parsons and colleagues used data collected from all children born in... view more...
