Can Early-Life factors steer preterm and term infant health?

NCT ID NCT07756177

First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows mother-infant pairs from birth to 24 months to see how early nutrition, environmental exposures, and family factors relate to growth, development, and allergies in preterm and term infants. Researchers will use questionnaires and biological samples to examine human milk, gut microbes, physical growth, and developmental milestones. The goal is to understand whether these relationships differ between preterm and term infants, which could inform future health strategies.

What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this research could point toward better nutrition and health strategies for infants born at different gestational ages, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by many unmeasured factors and may not apply to other populations.
