Low birth weight is associated with both later adult diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and a number of metabolic abnormalities, the foremost of which is insulin resistance. Indeed the link between an adverse perinatal environment, manifested by low birth weight, and adult life pathology may be an early, permanent reduction in insulin sensitivity. A reduction in insulin sensitivity has been demonstrated in small for gestational age (SGA), term subjects from childhood through to adulthood. Less is known about children born premature into an adverse neonatal environment. We present data demonstrating that premature infants also have metabolic abnormalities similar to those observed in term, SGA children and that these occur irrespective of whether they are SGA or appropriate for gestational age (AGA).
