The EPICure study : growth and blood pressure at 6 years of age following extremely preterm birth [PDF]
Background: Preterm children are at risk for reduced growth in early childhood, which may predispose them to later changes in blood pressure. We studied growth and blood pressure (BP) in extremely preterm (EP) children at age 6 years.

Promotion of faster weight gain in infants born small for gestational age - Is there an adverse effect on later blood pressure? [PDF]
Background - Being born small for gestational age is associated with later risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure. Promotion of postnatal growth has been proposed to ameliorate these effects. There is evidence in animals and
