Preterm delivery as a predictor of diurnal cortisol profiles in adulthood: Evidence from Cebu , Philippines
Abstract
Objectives Fetal exposure to elevated maternal cortisol can permanently modify hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis function, and thereby have long-term health impacts. Maternal cortisol steadily increases throughout normal pregnancy, but is abnormally high in preterm deliveries (<37 weeks).
