In this podcast, two of the co-authors of a review article published in CMAJ, Dr. Tuy Mai Luu, clinician-scientist at Sainte-Justine Hospital and teaching assistant in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Montreal, and Dr. Anne-Monique Nuyt, Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Montreal and Chief of neonatology at Sainte-Justine Hospital explain the evidence linking pre-term birth and adult chronic diseases.Full review article: https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.150450To request a transcript of this podcast, contact cmajgroup@cmaj.ca-----------------------------------Subscribe to CMAJ Podcasts on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast app. You can also
