Participants completed pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry, DL<sub>CO</sub>, plethysmography, and multiple breath washout at 9-10 years of age. Parents completed the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire. Mean differences in z-scores of lung function outcomes and risk ratio (RR) for ISAAC outcomes between those born moderate-late preterm and those born at term were estimated using regression models with adjustment for potential confounding. Multiple imputation was used to handle missing data. <b>Measurements and Main Results:</b> 148 of 201 children born MLP and 120 of 201 term-born controls were assessed at 9-10 years.
