COSMED will attend the Nutrition & Growth International Conference from March 30th to April 1st 2023, the ultimate meeting place to discuss the interplay between nutrition and growth in the pediatric age group. Visit us at Booth # 06.
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.
