abstract="OBJECTIVE  Anxiety and depression rates are known to be elevated in prematurely-born children and adolescents. This prospective study examines demographic, academic, and  physical health correlates of anxiety and depression symptoms in a sample of  10-year-old children who were born extremely preterm. <br><br>METHODS  Participants were 889  (51.2% male; 62.3% White) children who were born <28 weeks gestation. Child and  family demographic data were collected at birth. When the children were 10, parents  (n = 871) and teachers (n = 640) rated the level of anxiety and depression in  children through the Child Symptom Inventory-4. Child academic functioning was  assessed via the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-III. Parents completed  questionnaires about child academic functioning and physical health issues. Data  analyses were conducted with multivariate linear modeling. <br><br>RESULTS  Level of  prematurity was significantly related to both parent and teacher reports of anxiety. Public health insurance and individualized education program (IEP) status were  associated with both parent and teacher reports of depression. Hispanic ethnicity,  public insurance, IEP status, and asthma were significantly associated with both  parent-reported anxiety and depression. Gross motor impairment was associated with  parent-reported anxiety and teacher-reported depression. Child obesity was  associated with teacher reports of anxiety, while male sex was significantly related  to teacher reports of depression. <br><br>CONCLUSION  This pattern of findings may suggest  hypotheses for future research on models of the development and persistence of  anxiety and depression within this particularly vulnerable group of children.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
