 1980~1984年に極低出生体重児で出生し,NICUを生存退院した後,20歳まで達した者の長期追跡調査として,現在の健康状態やライフスタイルに関するアンケート調査を行なった。アンケートの回収率は76%で(生存退院数は183名,アンケートの送付数は150通,有効回答数は114通),日常生活に介助を要する者は6名(5%),聴力障害者は2名(2%),未熟児網膜症による視力障害は3名(3%),てんかんなどの疾患で内服治療中の者は8名(7%)だった。身体発育は男女とも小柄であったが,BMIは標準だった。
 就業率は男性69%,女性55%,大学進学率は男性44%,女性24%で女性の大学進学率は低かったが,就業率,男性の大学進学率は全国レベルに達しており,極低出生体重児だった者の成人期における健康状態・社会への適応度は比較的良好と思われた。
 To study the long-term health disabilities and the social adaptation of adult, who were very-low birth weight(VLBW)infants at birth. A postal questionnaire was sent to 150 adult at the age of 20-24 years, all of which were born less than 1,500g, and were discharged from our NICU during the period between 1980 and 1984.
 The answered questionnaire was received from 114 patients(76%). Six of them required help for their daily lives(5%), two had auditory disabilities(2%), three had visual disabilities due to retinopathy of prematurely(3%), and eight were on medications for epilepsy or other disease(7%).
 The physical growths of these patients were smaller than the average of their same ages, but their body mass index were within the average for Japanese.
 44% of the males went to college, but in females only 24% went to college.
 However their employment rate reached the national level in Japan being 69% in male and 58% in females. Thus it seems that in low birth weight infant(LBWI), the health disabilities and social adaptation are doing well during their adulthood.
