Reader's Digest 2月号の記事 "How to Keep Your HEART YOUNG" からの引用です。
Women who undergo spontaneous preterm delivery (before 37 weeks) may have a greater likelihood of heart disease, according to a Dutch study. Moms of preemies had a 38 percent higher risk of coronary artery disease, a 71 percent higher risk of stroke, and more than double the risk of overall heart disease. Researchers say these women may be prone to inflammation, which is linked to preterm delivery and common among heart disease patients.

・Oxford English Dictionary: A baby born prematurely.: Another very common problem affecting preemies is immature lungs.
