Preliminary Evidence That Shared Genetic Influences Underlie Comorbidity Between Self-Reported Eating and Internalizing Disorders and Gastrointestinal Disease in Adult Women and Men.

Introduction: Accumulating research suggests both eating disorders (EDs) and internalizing disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression) are associated with gastrointestinal disease (e.

Executive Function in Children Born Moderate-to-Late Preterm: A Meta-Analysis.

Context: The risk of early neurodevelopmental delay is increasingly recognized in children born moderate-to-late preterm (MLP; 32-36 weeks' gestation), but school-aged cognitive outcomes are unclear, particularly for domains such as executive function (EF).

Objective: To evaluate EF outcomes (attentional control, cognitive flexibility, and goal setting) in school-aged children born MLP compared with children born at term.

Data Sources: Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, and Scopus.

Executive function is associated with the development of math performance in children born at <30 weeks' gestation or <1250 g birthweight.

Objective: To describe associations between executive function (EF) domains (attentional control, information processing, cognitive flexibility, and goal setting) and concurrent math computation performance at age 7 and 13 years in children born <30 weeks' gestation or weighing <1,250 g, and second, to examine the impact of 7-year EF on math performance at 13 years.

Method: In a prospective, longitudinal cohort of children born <30 weeks' gestation or with a birthweight <1,250 g, assessment of EF and math performance was undertaken at 7 (n = 187) and 13 years (n = 174). Linear regression models were used to describe associations between EF domains with math performance at both time points, as well as to examine the impact of EF at 7 years on math performance at 13 years.

Trajectories of social outcomes in individuals born very preterm from childhood to adolescence.

Aim: To compare trajectories of social functioning in peer problems and prosocial behavior from 5 to 13 years between individuals born very preterm (VPT) and full-term (FT).

Methods: Participants were from the Victorian Infant Brain Study (VIBeS) longitudinal cohort, consisting of 224 individuals born VPT and 77 born FT recruited at birth. Social functioning was measured using the parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) peer problems and prosocial behavior subscales at 5, 7, and 13 years' corrected age.

Twenty four-hour blood pressure and cognitive outcomes in adolescents born extremely preterm and at term.

Aim: To explore the impact of blood pressure on cognitive outcomes at 18 years of age in individuals born extremely preterm (<28 weeks' gestation) and at term (≥37 weeks' gestation).

Methods: Prospective longitudinal cohort comprising 136 young adults born extremely preterm and 120 matched term controls born in Victoria, Australia in 1991 and 1992. Using linear regression, we analysed the relationships between 24-h mean ambulatory blood pressure, systolic and diastolic hypertension with cognitive outcomes.
