Significant advances in medical care have increased survival of the tiniest and most premature babies. Those who have benefited from modern medicine are now in their mid-20s. We know they have more problems in childhood and adolescence compared with those born full term. However, we know little about their health problems in adulthood. This study will inform us of adult health problems in this vulnerable group and provide vital information about the best care for this increasing group of adults.

医疗保健方面的重大进步提高了最小和最早产婴儿的存活率。那些从现代医学中受益的人现在都在25岁左右。我们知道，与足月出生的孩子相比，他们在童年和青春期遇到的问题更多。然而，我们对他们成年后的健康问题知之甚少。这项研究将让我们了解这一弱势群体的成人健康问题，并提供有关为这一日益增长的成年人群体提供最佳护理的重要信息。
