Iversen JM, et al. - This prospective long-term follow-up study was undertaken to examine if somatosensory function is altered among young adults born preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW; ≤1500 grams) or small for gestational age (SGA; <10th percentile) at term. Researchers recognized that towards thermal and pain stimuli, low birth weight young adults were as sensitive as term-born, normal birth weight controls, with the same sex differences. These results do not support previous findings of altered sensory perception among children and adolescents born preterm.
