Extremely low birth weights, born in 2000-2005, birth weight below 1000 grams, who were initially admitted (2000-2005) at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, UZ Leuven Belgium and have been well characterized and documented in the postnatal period.

Survivors (CASES) (n = 140) will be matched with two healthy controls. One control will be matched to sex, birth year and residential area and will be suggested by the index patient (e.g. school friend, neighbor), the second control will be age and sex matched from the area of the field.
