“…Instead, breastfeeding mice showed a better expression of UCP1 and may benefit from both AKGs and MFGM-PL promoting BeAT activation in iAT [ 110 ]. Complementary feeding is another important step because it appears that early introduction of solid food before 4 months of age not only increases the risk of overweight and obesity but also reduces the activity of BAT by the sympathetic nervous system [ 119 ].…”

Brown Adipose Tissue: New Challenges for Prevention of Childhood Obesity. A Narrative Review

Pediatric obesity remains a challenge in modern society. Recently, research has focused on the role of the brown adipose tissue (BAT) as a potential target of intervention. In this review, we revised preclinical and clinical works on factors that may promote BAT or browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) from fetal age to adolescence. Maternal lifestyle, type of breastfeeding and healthy microbiota can affect the thermogenic activity of BAT. Environmental factors such as exposure to cold or physical activity also play a role in promoting and activating BAT. Most of the evidence is preclinical, although in clinic there is some evidence on the role of omega-3 PUFAs (EPA and DHA) supplementation on BAT activation. Clinical studies are needed to dissect the early factors and their modulation to allow proper BAT development and functions and to prevent onset of childhood obesity.

Optimal timing of introduction of complementary feeding: a systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2023

Context The timing of introducing complementary feeding (CF) is crucial because premature or delayed CF can be associated with adverse health outcomes in childhood and adulthood. Objective This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of the timing of CF introduction on health, nutrition, and developmental outcomes among normal-term infants. Data Sources Electronic databases and trial registries were searched, along with the reference lists of the included studies and relevant systematic reviews. Data Extraction Two investigators independently extracted data from the included studies on a standardized data-extraction form. Data Analysis Data were meta-analyzed separately for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies on the basis of early introduction of CF (< 3 months, < 4 months, < 6 months of age) or late introduction of CF (> 6 months, > 8 months of age). Evidence was summarized according to GRADE criteria. In total, 268 documents were included in the review, of which 7 were RCTs (from 24 articles) and 217 were observational studies (from 244 articles). Evidence from RCTs did not suggest an impact of early introduction, while low-certainty evidence from observational studies suggested that early introduction of CF (< 6 months) might increase body mass index (BMI) z score and overweight/obesity. Early introduction at < 3 months might increase BMI and odds of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), and early introduction at < 4 months might increase height, LRTI, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP). For late introduction of CF, there was a lack of evidence from RCTs, but low-certainty evidence from observational studies suggests that late introduction of CF (> 6 months) might decrease height, BMI, and systolic and diastolic BP and might increase odds of intestinal helminth infection, while late introduction of CF (> 8 months) might increase height-for-age z score. Conclusion Insufficient evidence does suggest increased adiposity with early introduction of CF. Hence, the current recommendation of introduction of CF should stand, though more robust studies, especially from low- and middle-income settings, are needed. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO registration number CRD42020218517.

Complementary feeding plays an important role in the patterns of growth, development and formation of eating habits. Although the consumption of complementary foods (CF) with an inadequate Nutrient Profile (NP) is considered a risk factor for morbidities, there are still few studies that assess its repercussions on children's diet and health. This review aims to identify the participation of industrialized CF consumption in children's diet, the NP of these foods, and their impact on quality diet and on health of children under two years of age. This is a protocol study for systematic review registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) CDR 42022321891, following recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). We will seek out cross-sectional or cohort studies investigating the NP of industrialized CF recommended for children up to two years and/or that evaluated the association between the CF consumption and the children's diet and health. The search for records will be conducted on PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Scielo. Two independent reviewers will perform all steps of the systematic review. The methodological quality will be analyzed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale (NOS) and Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2). Results will be presented by means, medians, confidence interval (95%), standard deviation for the NP of foods, and to assess the health impact, comparisons of outcome measures, effect sizes (ORs and RRs) will be extracted. The high consumption of industrialized CF and the negative impact on children's health, in addition to the gap in the literature of studies assessing the NP and consumption of these foods by children under 24 months, justify the importance of a review on this subject focusing on that age group.
