摘　　要：<strong>Introduction</strong><span><span><span style="font-family:;" "=""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong>:</strong> The survival of more preterm babies through improved management techniques may imply an increased risk of non-communicable diseases including obesity, diabetes </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">and</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> other cardiovascular risk diseases with age.
