Preterm birth and body composition at term equivalent age: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The body composition at TEA of infants born preterm is different than that of infants born at term. Preterm infants have less lean tissue but more similar fat mass. There is a need to determine whether improved nutritional management can enhance lean tissue acquisition, which indicates a need for measures of body composition in addition to routine anthropometry

Abstract

The body composition at TEA of infants born preterm is different than that of infants born at term. Preterm infants have less lean tissue but more similar fat mass. There is a need to determine whether improved nutritional management can enhance lean tissue acquisition, which indicates a need for measures of body composition in addition to routine anthropometry
