Premature babies are at increased risk of death and infertility

Premature birth can have negative consequences for the child, including increased risk of death in children and infertility in the future, scientists say. These conclusions researchers studied 1.2 million people in Norway was born in 1967 and 1988. The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. As you know, are premature babies born three weeks before the normal date and are at high risk for problems related to the development in the first years of life. But how does it affect their future life, little is known. The researchers found that the majority of preterm infants probability of poor health and increased infertility compared with those born at term. The mortality rate of premature infants was relatively small, but significantly higher than in those born at full term children. According to Dr. Geeta Swamy, the sooner the child is born, the more health problems that he have in the future. This is because it is. Not enough time for the full development of all organs Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant mortality in developed countries remains today. Scientists should carefully monitor the health of premature birth, not only in the first years of life, but also for many years. As previously reported, in the industrialized countries, the mortality rate higher for boys than for girls.
