In 534 individuals aged 30 years, whose mothers had participated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of antenatal betamethasone (two intramuscular doses 24 hours apart) for the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, there were no differences between those exposed to betamethasone and placebo in body size, blood lipids, blood pressure, plasma cortisol, prevalence of diabetes, or history of cardiovascular disease (397). After the oral glucose tolerance test, those who had been exposed to betamethasone had higher plasma insulin concentrations at 30 minutes (61 versus 52 mIU/1) and lower glucose concentrations at 120 minutes (4.8 versus 5.1 mmol/1) than did those exposed to placebo. Antenatal exposure to betamethasone might result in insulin resistance in adult offspring, but has no effect on cardiovascular risk factors at 30 years of age. 

In 192 adult offspring (mean age 31 years) of mothers who had taken part in a randomized controlled trial of antenatal betamethasone for the prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (87 exposed to betamethasone two doses 24 hours apart, and 105 exposed to placebo) there were no alterations in cognitive functioning, working memory and attention, psychiatric morbidity, handedness, or health-related quality-of-life in adulthood (400).
