Preterm birth is birth before the normal term of pregnancy.
A pregnancy normally lasts 40 to 41 weeks. Any child born before 37 weeks of amenorrhoea is considered preterm. Low birth weight is defined as a birth weight of less than 2,500 g. An energy-dense formula, made up of medium-chain triglycerides, nucleotides, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (ARA and DHA), provides the nutrients that preterm and low birth weight infants need to catch-up growth.
The estimated global preterm prevalence in 2020 was 9.9%, translating to 13.4 million preterm livebirths (Ohuma et al., 2023). Therefore around 1 in 10 of all live births is a preterm birth. Preterm birth is not just an issue in low and middle-income countries. Indeed, rates higher than 10% have been observed in some high-income countries with an estimated preterm birth prevalence of 11.6%.
