Lower hypothalamus subunit volumes link with impaired long-term body weight gain after preterm birth

IntroductionPreterm birth is associated with an increased risk for impaired body weight gain. While it is known that in prematurity several somatic and environmental factors (e.g., endocrine factors, nutrition) modulate short- and long-term body weight gain, the contribution of potentially impaired...
