“…Carbonated soda drinks, flavoured fruit drinks and milk-based beverages are being consumed in increasing amounts by young children and have become major sources of added sugar in their diet [13]. A growing body of evidence suggests that high consumption of SSBs is significantly associated with low intakes of micronutrients [14,15], increased risk of dental caries [16], and risk of excess weight gain, and metabolic disorders in children [10,[17][18][19]. Moreover, numerous studies have also shown that dietary practices established in early childhood could persist into adolescence [20], and then into adulthood [21].…”

Background: There is little information about the diet, lifestyle and parental characteristics associated with habitual sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption in Asian children. The aim of the present study was to assess crosssectional associations between habitual SSB consumption and preschoolers' diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviour as well as parental and child characteristics in Malaysian preschoolers aged 3 to 6 y. Methods: A total of 590 preschoolers, comprising 317 boys and 273 girls were included. Pre-pilot parental questionnaires were used to assess diet, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour practices and anthropometry was assessed in preschoolers and their parents. Results: Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that preschoolers with more frequent weekly intake of snacks [OR 2.7; 95% CI, 1.6-4.4; p < 0.001] and monthly fast food consumption [OR 3.5; 95% CI, 1.9-6.3; p < 0.001], were associated with higher SSB intake (≥5 days in a week), after adjustments of potential confounders. Preschoolers with higher daily fruit and vegetable intake had lower SSB intake [OR 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.8; p = 0.011]. A positive association of higher weekly vigorous PA [OR 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.7; p = 0.030] and daily screen-based practices [OR 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2-3.6; p < 0.001] on habitual SSBs intake was also substantiated. Conclusion: Multiple diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviour factors were significantly associated with SSB intake among Malaysian preschoolers. Continued effort is required to encourage healthier beverage choices, as well as healthy diet and active lifestyle practices among children during the critical early years of growth and development.

“…However, these studies did not assess infant dietary intake, except for maternal recall of BF; in these studies, older children who were exposed to GDM were investigated and the severity of GDM was not assessed. A cross-sectional study of WIC participants found a higher odds of obesity at 1-5 years of age in children who were exclusively breastfed with concurrent SSB intake, regardless of GDM exposure [11]. However, this study did not assess GDM severity or infant diet during the first year of life.…”

“…In 2015-2016, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among U.S. children and adolescents (aged 2-19 years) were 16.6% and 18.5%, respectively; while obesity prevalence was about 14% among children aged 2-5 years [4,5]. GDM and early life dietary behaviours such as limited breastfeeding (BF), limited exclusive BF (EBF) and other postnatal dietary habits may influence weight gain, obesity and metabolic disease among young children and adolescents [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Prospective studies of GDM infants show conflicting findings for BF measures and infant linear ponderal growth.…”

Aims/hypotheses This longitudinal analysis evaluated the independent and joint associations of any breastfeeding (BF) or exclusive BF (EBF) and intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and 100% fruit juice from birth to 1 year with subsequent overweight and obesity among young children exposed to gestational diabetes (GDM). Methods The analysis utilised prospectively collected data from participants enrolled in the Study of Women, Infant Feeding and Type 2 Diabetes after GDM (SWIFT); 1035 pregnant women (20-45 years) diagnosed with GDM, of whom 75% were of Black, Hispanic or Asian race and ethnicity. Mother-infant dyad characteristics and infant dietary intake were assessed via research protocols at in-person examinations, telephone interviews and monthly mailed surveys from birth to 1 year. Child weight, length and height were obtained from electronic health records at birth (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) and ages 2-5 years (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016) to classify BMI percentile groups (n = 835). Results Adequate BF (≥6 months), adequate EBF duration (≥6 months), and SSB and 100% fruit juice intake in the first year were independently associated with child obesity at ages 2-5 years (all p < 0.05).

“…However, relative to PF supply, studies are still scarce. A recent study observed that, in children exposed to gestational DM, BF only maintain its protection against childhood obesity if processed foods, like sugar-sweetened beverages intake, were also low [36].…”

Infant processed food consumption and their interaction to breastfeeding and growth in children up to six months old

et al. 2021

Background Evidences suggest that early processed food (PF) consumption may cause harm to infant health. During the first 6 months of life, it is not known whether the timing and quantity of this food group can impact breastfeeding and growth. The aim of the study was to analyze the associations between time of introduction and quantity of infant PF consumption with duration of breastfeeding and infant growth at 6 months of age. Methods Data were longitudinally collected in six interviews, from birth to 6 months, in a sample of Brazilian newborns with adverse intrauterine environments. PF consumption was calculated by gravity score of processed foods (GSPF) in relation to feeding supply quality and time. For the analysis, the scores were divided into tertiles, making scores severities: Null, Mild, Moderate, and Severe. The interaction between GSPF and breastfeeding (exclusive and non-exclusive) and growth parameters (analyzed in Z-scores, by weight for height, weight for age, and body mass index for age) was tested. Results A total of 236 infants were included in the study. Greater GSPF were associated with better rates of breastfeeding practices and higher growth indicators scores in the sixth month of infants. These findings were confirmed after adjustment for family income, maternal age, pre-gestational body mass index, and growth z scores at birth. Conclusion The harms of eating PF in relation to breastfeeding and infant growth are more evident the greater and earlier they are consumed. Future studies should explore interventions to reduce and delay the consumption of these foods to prevent adverse health outcomes in later life.
