Within group (preterm/full-term) correlations between child outcome scores regarding internalizing/externalizing behavioral problem, physical activity, full-scale IQ, and outcomes from the Swedish Classification of Education (SUN) for the parents.
| SUN | PT group (N = 43*) | FT group (N = 53*) |
|---|---|---|
| INTERNALIZING PROBLEMS | ||
| Mother | r = −0.118, p = 0.45 | r = 0.048, p = 0.72 |
| Father | r = −0.383, p = 0.01 | r = 0.086, p = 0.73 |
| EXTERNALIZING PROBLEMS | ||
| Mother | r = −0.133, p = 0.39 | r = 0.158, p = 0.28 |
| Father | r = −0.361, p = 0.02 | r = 0.086, p = 0.54 |
| PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (AMOUNT + SKILLFULNESS) | ||
| Mother | r = 0.310, p = 0.04 | r = 0.238, p = 0.09 |
| Father | r = 0.232, p = 0.13 | r = 0.045, p = 0.75 |
| FULL–SCALE IQ | ||
| Mother | r = 0.319, p = 0.03 | r = 0.351, p = 0.01 |
| Father | r = 0.136, p = 0.38 | r = 0.288, p = 0.04 |

Only those for whom SUN classification was available for both parents were included in the analyses. PT, preterm; FT, full-term; IQ, intelligence quotient. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) are indicated in bold.
