Study participants
Included in the study were 364 participants (76 term; 288 preterm) at a
median (IQR) age of 12.9 years (9.8, 19.0), assessed at a single time
point. There were no anthropometric differences between the preterm and
term cohorts (Table 1). Those born ≤32 weeks gestation had a high burden
of respiratory symptoms, with 39% having received an asthma diagnosis
during their lifetime.
