Abnormal lipid profile and hyperinsulinaemia after a mixed meal: additional cardiovascular risk factors in young adults born preterm

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis Low birthweight in infants born at term is related to the presence of the metabolic syndrome as an adult. Individuals born preterm invariably have low birthweights and may develop the metabolic syndrome as well. Although high BP, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance have been documented, dyslipidaemia has never been reported in individuals born preterm. Methods In three groups of young adults [29 participants from the POPS (Project On Premature and Small for Gestational Age Infants) cohor… Show more

“…In concordance with prior reports of association between premature birth and insulin resistance 45 , and other CVRF such as dyslipidemia and HBP 46 , we found a negative association between gestational age at birth and HBP or low HDLc. This highlights the great impact that conditions early in life may have on subsequent health, and deserves further exploration in future studies.…”

“…At least those born smallest and most immature show as children and adults more pronounced cardiovascular risk factors, for example increased blood pressure (BP), [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] reduced glucose tolerance, 7,11 and increased insulin resistance, 7,8,18 compared with those born at term. As to plasma lipids, the results are mixed.…”

“…12 Compared with term-born infants, as adults they have higher blood pressure 13,14 and are more likely to have glucose intolerance, 15 insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. 16 Insulin resistance in prepubertal children born extremely preterm has been associated with neonatal nutrition. Preterm infants were found to be insulin resistant compared with term-born infants.…”
