Visit COSMED booth #23 at 54^th Annual Meeting of ESPGHAN, which will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from Wednesday, 22 June to Saturday, 25 June 2022.

Premature infants often undergo postnatal growth failure and show an altered body composition (BC) at termequivalent age (TEA) with lower fat-free mass (FFM) and increased fat mass (FM) than infants born at term.

Body composition is a sensitive marker of infants’ intra- and extrauterine growth quality that can influence short- and long-term outcomes; including retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), metabolic health, cardiovascular and neurodevelopmental outcomes.

COSMED will be present during the ASPEN 2020 Virtual Congress in Nutrition Science & Practice from the 28th to the 31st of March 2020.

A new study on the Neonatology Journal shows the relationship netween body composition at birth and in early childhood with risk for cognitive deficits.
