Preterm birth severely disrupts the normal developmental maturation of organ systems, resulting in lasting adverse effects. High blood pressure, cardiac dysfunction, obstructive lung disease, elevated blood glucose, and mental health problems occur earlier and at higher rates in the preterm-born than in the term populations. Disadvantageous health conditions may have a significant impact on the well-being of preterm-born individuals from childhood through adulthood. This review summarizes the impact of preterm birth on neurodevelopment and on cardiovascular, renal, metabolic, and pulmonary health.
