A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst investigated the relationship between birthweight, preterm birth status, and the risk for depression in adulthood. The study used data from the Women's Health Initiative and found that individuals born with low or high birthweights were more likely to have higher depression scores and a higher likelihood of depression. Additionally, individuals born preterm were also more likely to have depression. The researchers suggest that individuals with low or high birthweights and those born preterm may benefit from early evaluation and long-term follow-up for the prevention and treatment of mental health outcomes.
