(KTNV) — Premature birth may lead to an earlier death.
A new European study suggests those born preterm were more likely to die prematurely as an adult.
In particular, the study found there was a higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, chronic lung disease, and diabetes.
A New York City doctor who reviewed the research says this is proof premature birth can require long-term follow-ups in order to take preventative action.
