      Jussinniemi, Laura; Kulmala, Maarit K.; Aakvik, Kristina Anna Djupvik; Benum, Silje Dahl; Jørgensen, Anna Perregaard Munch; Balasuriya, Chandima Nirupa Dilruks; Stunes, Astrid Kamilla; Syversen, Unni; Indredavik, Marit Sæbø; Andersson, Sture; Hovi, Petteri; Evensen, Kari Anne Indredavik; Kajantie, Eero Olavi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Background: Studies on body composition in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW < 1500 g) survivors are inconsistent and trajectories later in life unknown. We assessed body composition and its change from young to mid-adulthood ...
    • Early postnatal nutrition after preterm birth and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adulthood 

      Suikkanen, Julia; Matinolli, Hanna-Maria; Eriksson, Johan G; Jarvenpaa, Anna-Liisa; Andersson, Sture; Kajantie, Eero; Hovi, Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Objectives Adults born preterm at very low birthweight (VLBW; <1500 g) have a non-optimal cardiometabolic risk factor profile. Since higher protein intake during the first weeks of life predicted a healthier body ...
    • Effect of High-Dose vs Standard-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation on Neurodevelopment of Healthy Term Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial 

      Tuovinen, Soile; Räikkönen, Katri; Holmlund-Suila, Elisa; Hauta-Alus, Helena; Helve, Otto; Rosendahl, Jenni; Enlund-Cerullo, Maria; Kajantie, Eero Olavi; Valkama, Saara; Viljakainen, Heli; Mäkitie, Outi; Andersson, Sture; Heinonen, Kati (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

      Importance Vitamin D is associated with neurodevelopment, but causality, critical windows, and potentials for modification remain unknown. Objective To determine the impact of high-dose (1200 IU) vs standard-dose (400 ...
    • Expiratory airflow in late adolescence and early adulthood in individuals born very preterm or with very low birthweight compared with controls born at term or with normal birthweight: a meta-analysis of individual participant data. 

      Doyle, Lex W.; Andersson, Sture; Bush, Andy; Cheong, Jeanie L.Y.; Clemm, Hege Synnøve Havstad; Evensen, Kari Anne Indredavik; Gough, Aisling; Halvorsen, Thomas; Hovi, Petteri; Kajantie, Eero Olavi; Lee, Katherine J.; McGarvey, Lorcan; Narang, Indra; Näsänen-Gilmore, Pieta; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Vollsæter, Maria; Vrijlandt, Elianne J.L.E.; APIC, international network (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Maximal expiratory airflow peaks early in the third decade of life, then gradually declines with age. The pattern of airflow through adulthood for individuals born very preterm (at <32 weeks’ gestation) or ...
    • Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight and gestational diabetes and dietary intakes among young adult offspring 

      Kaseva, Nina; Vääräsmäki, Marja; Matinolli, Hanna-Maria; Sipola, Marika; Tikanmäki, Marjaana; Kanerva, Noora; Heinonen, Kati; Lano, Aulikki; Wolke, Dieter; Andersson, Sture; Järvelin, Marjo-Riitta; Räikkönen, Katri; Eriksson, Johan G.; Männistö, Satu; Kajantie, Eero Olavi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

    • Optimism in adults born preterm: Systematic review and individual-participant-data metaanalysis 

      Robinson, Rachel K.; Heinonen, Kati; Girchenko, Polina; Lahti-Pulkkinen, Marius; Kajantie, Eero Olavi; Hovi, Petteri; Lano, Aulikki; Andersson, Sture; Eriksson, Johan G.; Wolke, Dieter; Lemola, Sakari; Raikkonen, Katri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Aim Preterm birth(<37 gestational weeks) is associated with numerous adversities, however, data on positive developmental outcomes remain limited. We examined if preterm and term born(≥37 gestational weeks) adults differ ...
