Ottawa: Extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies are four times more likely to develop higher body fat than other normal birth weight (NBW) babies, says a study conducted by Indian-origin researcher.
"It's important to know about these potential implications for the ELBW babies, so that we can identify ways to help those born premature counteract these potential influences on their health," said Saroj Saigal, Professor at McMaster University, at Hamilton, in Ontario, Canada.
The researchers who have been following the health of new borns since their birth at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) hospital, found that 26 per cent ELBW babies among them have dysglycemia compared to 8 per cent of the NBW babies.
