High blood pressure in 2.5-year-old children born extremely pretermAnna Karin Edstedt Bonamy
Department of Women s and Children s Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Pediatrics 129:e1199-204. 2012..Adolescents and young adults born preterm have elevated blood pressure (BP). The objective of this study was to investigate if BP is elevated at 2.5 years of age after an extremely preterm birth (EXPT)...
Being born too small, too early, or both: does it matter for risk of hypertension in the elderly?Anna Karin E Bonamy
Department of Woman and Child Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Hypertens 21:1107-10. 2008..Low birth weight is an often-reported risk factor for high blood pressure later in life. This study investigates the selective contributions of preterm birth and poor fetal growth to later risk of hypertension...
Preterm birth and maternal smoking in pregnancy are strong risk factors for aortic narrowing in adolescenceAnna Karin Edstedt Bonamy
Department of Woman and Child Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Acta Paediatr 97:1080-5. 2008..Preterm transition from foetal to neonatal circulation might permanently alter aortic growth and development. To test this hypothesis, we measured aortic dimensions in adolescents born very preterm...
Preterm birth and carotid diameter and stiffness in childhoodAnna Karin Edstedt Bonamy
Department of Woman and Child Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Acta Paediatr 97:434-7. 2008..Carotid stiffening, an early marker of atheromatous disease, has been found in low-birthweight children born at term. We hypothesized that carotid artery growth and dynamic properties are permanently affected by preterm birth...
Lower skin capillary density, normal endothelial function and higher blood pressure in children born pretermA K E Bonamy
Department of Woman and Child Health, Danderyd Hospital, Division of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
J Intern Med 262:635-42. 2007..Preterm birth is a risk factor for blood pressure (BP) elevation already at young age. The mechanisms are unknown. Low skin capillary density and impaired endothelial function characterize adults with hypertension...
Preterm birth contributes to increased vascular resistance and higher blood pressure in adolescent girlsAnna Karin Edstedt Bonamy
Department of Woman and Child Health, Karolinska Institutet, 17176 Stockholm, Sweden
Pediatr Res 58:845-9. 2005..These findings may have implications for future cardiovascular risk in the growing adult population surviving preterm birth...
Perinatal risk factors for ischemic heart disease: disentangling the roles of birth weight and preterm birthMagnus Kaijser
Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Circulation 117:405-10. 2008..Several studies have reported an association between low birth weight and ischemic heart disease, but it remains unclear whether the association is mediated through poor fetal growth or short gestational duration...
Birth characteristics and subsequent risks of maternal cardiovascular disease: effects of gestational age and fetal growthAnna Karin Edstedt Bonamy
Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, Box 281, SE 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden
Circulation 124:2839-46. 2011..Prior studies showing an inverse relationship between low birth weight in offspring and maternal risks of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are limited by lack of information on gestational age and/or insufficient adjustment for confounders...
Perinatal risk factors for diabetes in later lifeMagnus Kaijser
Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Diabetes 58:523-6. 2009..We therefore investigated the significance of these two factors separately...
Relationship of maternal snuff use and cigarette smoking with neonatal apneaAnna Gunnerbeck

Pediatrics 128:503-9. 2011..Despite lacking knowledge of whether the harmful effects of smoking are caused by combustion products in tobacco smoke or by nicotine, it has been argued that nicotine-replacement therapy during pregnancy is safer than smoking...
Hypertension, diabetes and overweight: looming legacies of the Biafran famineMartin Hult
Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
PLoS ONE 5:e13582. 2010..We undertook to study the risks for hypertension, glucose intolerance and overweight forty years after fetal exposure to famine afflicted Biafra during the Nigerian civil war (1967-1970)...
