Kangaroo mother care had a protective effect on the volume of brain structures in young adults born preterm
Aim: The protective effects of Kangaroo mother care (KMC) on the neurodevelop-ment of preterm infants are well established, but we do not know whether the ben-efits persist beyond infancy. Our aim was to determine whether providing KMC in infancy affected brain volumes in young adulthood.Method: Standardised cognitive, memory and motor skills tests were used to deter-mine the […]
