The role of internalising trajectories in adult wealth and social relationships following very preterm birth/very low birth weight
Background
Individuals born very preterm (VPT; <32 weeks) and/or with very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) are at higher risk for internalising problems and adulthood difficulties. However, internalising symptoms fluctuate over time, and it remains unclear how these patterns of change relate to adult outcomes after VPT/VLBW birth.
Objective
To examine whether internalising trajectories from childhood to early adulthood mediate or moderate the association between VPT/VLBW birth and adult wealth and social relationship difficulties.
Methods
Data were drawn from the Bavarian Longitudinal Study (252 VPT/VLBW, 228 term-born), followed from birth to 34 years. Internalising symptoms were parent-reported at four waves (ages 6, 8, 13 and 26 years) and modelled into trajectories. Path analysis tested direct and indirect effects of VPT/VLBW status on outcomes at 34 years via these trajectories. Moderation was tested using analysis of variance. Covariates included sex, socioeconomic status (SES) at birth, and neurosensory impairments (NSI).
Results
Three internalising trajectories emerged: consistently low (70.4 %), decreasing (15 %), and increasing (14.6 %). The increasing trajectory mediated the association between VPT/VLBW birth and both lower wealth and greater social relationship difficulties. After adjusting for sex, SES, and NSI, only the mediation effect on wealth remained significant. Indirect effects accounted for approximately 15–18 % of the total effects. Interactions between birth group (VPT/VLBW vs. term-born) and internalising trajectory on adult outcomes were non-significant.
Conclusions
Increasing internalising symptoms partially mediate the impact of VPT/VLBW birth on adult wealth and social relationships. Findings highlight the value of continuing mental health support, particularly for those born VPT/VLBW.
期刊介绍:
Established as an authoritative, highly cited voice on early human development, Early Human Development provides a unique opportunity for researchers and clinicians to bridge the communication gap between disciplines. Creating a forum for the productive exchange of ideas concerning early human growth and development, the journal publishes original research and clinical papers with particular emphasis on the continuum between fetal life and the perinatal period; aspects of postnatal growth influenced by early events; and the safeguarding of the quality of human survival.
The first comprehensive and interdisciplinary journal in this area of growing importance, Early Human Development offers pertinent contributions to the following subject areas:
Fetology; perinatology; pediatrics; growth and development; obstetrics; reproduction and fertility; epidemiology; behavioural sciences; nutrition and metabolism; teratology; neurology; brain biology; developmental psychology and screening.
