Risks persist for up to 40 years after delivery, say researchers
BMJ
Preterm and early term delivery are independent risk factors for premature death in women up to 40 years later, finds a study from Sweden published by The BMJ today.
These findings were not explained by shared genetic or early life environmental factors in families, suggesting that women who deliver prematurely "need long term clinical follow-up for detection and treatment of chronic disorders associated with early mortality," say the researchers.

I read that during covid19 times premature birth rates are way down. I guess staying at home avoiding germs help women get to term. On NPR it said that they had "excess capacity" in the hospital in England. I wonder if that is true here. Fully baked kids just do better.
