Vohr BR, et al. - Among extremely preterm infants born at <28 weeks of gestation, the researchers identified rates of overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥85th percentile) and obesity (BMI ≥95th percentile) at 6-7 years of age and associated risk factors. They prospectively assessed anthropometrics, blood pressure, and active and sedentary activity levels. According to the findings obtained, one in 5 former extremely preterm infants was overweight or obese and had central obesity at early school age. The obtained results demonstrate that postdischarge weight gain velocities were associated with overweight and obesity. The findings from the present study suggested that the obesity epidemic was spreading to the most extremely preterm infants.
