Arterial structure—preterm-born young adults (gray) demonstrated no statistically significant difference in carotid cross-sectional areas compared to term-born adults (white), (23.55±3.84 vs. 23.87±3.55 mm², P=0.64) (a) or brachial cross-sectional areas compared to term-born adults (white), (9.34±3.25 vs. 8.57±2.91 mm², P=0.10) (b). However, preterm-born young adults (gray) had reduced thoracic and abdominal aorta cross-sectional areas compared to term-born young adults (white), (2.19±0.44 vs. 2.69±0.60 cm², P<0.001 (c) and 1.25±0.36 vs. 1.94±0.45 cm², P<0.001) (d).
