NCT04945369

Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

Prematurity is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic disturbances in adulthood.

It has been demonstrated that the body composition of children born prematurely is different from that of children born under term with a deficit in fat free mass.

It can thus be wondered if this excessive adiposity does or does not predict the risk of insulin resistance in adulthood.

Children born prematurely, with a body composition measurement performed at discharge from neonatal hospitalization as part of the EPIPOD protocol, and now aged between 8 and 14 years, will be included in the INFANTPOD protocol.

Analysis of body composition, insulin resistance, renal function, pulse wave velocity, eating behaviour and of physical activity will be performed.

Children born prematurely included in the EPIPOD protocol and now in the peripubertal periodclinical and biological measurements and questionnairesAt inclusion in the INFANTPOD study : * Blood and urinary samples collection for evaluation of insulin resistance and of renal function analysis. * Assessment of body composition by a commercialized device called "BOP-POD" and by impedancemetry * Assessment of pulse wave by a commercialized device called "popmetre" * Questionnaires for analysis of eating behaviour * Assessment of physical activity by a commercialized device called "accelerometer" and by questionnaire.
