Bone Mineral Density and Osteoporosis after Preterm Birth: The Role of Early Life Factors and Nutrition
The effects of preterm birth and perinatal events on bone health in later life remain largely unknown. Bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis risk may be programmed by early life factors. We summarise the existing literature relating to the effects of prematurity on adult BMD and the Developmen...
