1. Kari Risnes:

   The risk of overall death and death from chronic diseases in the young adults ages that we studied( up to a maximum of 50 years) is very low. I would encourage anyone born before full term to let their doctor know if they are born preterm so that adequate risk assessments can be performed and life style changes and treatments can be applied appropriately to prevent chronic diseases.

2. Kari Risnes:

   We compared siblings and found that the risk was higher in a preterm born compared to their full born sibling. This made us conclude that increased risk in preterm born could not be fully explained by factors that siblings share, like genetic factors or socioeconomic factors, living conditions or lifestyle factors in childhood.

3. Andrew Prentice:

   If a mother’s diet is poor then it causes a whole lot of damage to the genome which has a shotgun effect, so a baby might have possible adverse outcomes, this general phenomenon might explain preterm births, problems in pregnancy, brain defects, or why some babies are born too small.

4. Larry Rand:

   Especially in low - and middle-income countries with really high preterm birth rates and huge neonatal mortality rates, one of the biggest problems is, there is no ultrasound, and women are not empowered to keep track of their last menstrual cycle. It's often taboo to keep track of or talk about your period, that is one of the biggest problems we have worldwide, and lots of folks have been working on trying to find another way -- ideally an inexpensive test -- to figure out what the gestational age is for any given pregnancy.

5. Veronica Hinton:

   Given that multiple factors seem to contribute to falling in the lower 5 percent on school readiness measures - including living in an impoverished household, primary language other than English, lower maternal education, and black maternal race, as well as late preterm( birth) - it is reasonable to believe that the reasons why some late preterm children are at risk are multi-factorial.
