Of all children that are born before the seventh month of pregnancy, at least one third suffer from disabilities. According to a French study, the earlier the birth, the higher the degree of disability.
The study focused on 1,817 five-year-old French children who were born pre-maturely, from 22 to 32 weeks. The cognitive skills of the children were assessed using a scale that is equivalent to an IQ test. Their motor skills, such as walking, hearing and vision were also assessed.
The results of these children were compared with the results of a second group of 396 children who had been full term deliveries.

The authors of the study interpret these results as meaning that the more premature a baby is born, the higher the chances of disability.
