dc.description.abstract	<p>The association between low birth weight at <em>term </em>birth and an increased risk for insulin resistance (IR) in adulthood is well established. Less is known about this association in those born markedly <em>preterm</em>. Lower birth weights are more prevalent among individuals born preterm. We compared and examined determinants of IR in adults born preterm with extremely low birth weight (ELBW; birth weight</p>	en_US
