Glucose Regulation in Young Adults with Very Low Birth Weight
Petteri Hovi,Sture Andersson,Johan G. Eriksson,Anna-Liisa Järvenpää,Sonja Strang-Karlsson,Outi Mäkitie,Eero Kajantie +6 more
TL;DR: Young adults with a very low birth weight have higher indexes of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and higher blood pressure than those born at term and adjustment for the lower lean body mass in the very-low-birth-weight subjects did not attenuate these relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very Low Birth Weight and Behavioral Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Young Adulthood : The Helsinki Study of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Adults
Sonja Strang-Karlsson,Katri Räikkönen,Anu-Katriina Pesonen,Eero Kajantie,E. Juulia Paavonen,Jari Lahti,Petteri Hovi,Kati Heinonen,Anna-Liisa Järvenpää,Johan G. Eriksson,Sture Andersson +10 more

Katri Räikkönen,Anu-Katriina Pesonen,Kati Heinonen,Eero Kajantie,Petteri Hovi,Anna-Liisa Järvenpää,Johan G. Eriksson,Sture Andersson +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first study (to the authors' knowledge) to show that intrauterine growth pattern may modify associations between VLBW and depression, and may pose a risk of depression in young adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Petteri Hovi,Sture Andersson,Anna-Liisa Järvenpää,Johan G. Eriksson,Johan G. Eriksson,Sonja Strang-Karlsson,Sonja Strang-Karlsson,Eero Kajantie,Eero Kajantie,Outi Mäkitie +9 more
