Prematurity
Hello.
Would someone please tell me what does 'prematurity' mean in:
However, low birth weight may be linked to ADHD rather than ODD (http://focus.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?Volume=2&page=558&journalID=21#Breslau-etal-1996), an association that may be mediated by intellectual and neuromotor delays associated with prematurity (http://focus.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?Volume=2&page=558&journalID=21#Nadeau-etal-2001).

"Prematurity" used in the context of a sentence referencing "low birth rate" would seem to mean a baby that was born before it should have been, and has health concerns because of this.
