“…Nonetheless infant nutrition in general and breast feeding specifically may be associated with cardiorespiratory fitness. Undernutrition in infancy and early childhood is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness in later life, most notably in developing countries where strong associations were seen between extreme nutritional deprivation in infancy, and childhood, and later work capacity [30,31]. A review of a small number of studies from more developed countries concluded that poor infant feeding (defined as difficulty with any feeding or exclusively bottlefed) and poor early childhood nutrition (low energy and/or protein intake) were associated with reduced work capacity in later life [32].…”

Objective: To investigate covariates that could affect the variation in mean length/age z scores in the first year of life of children born full term with normal birth weight. Methods:This was a prospective study of a cohort of mother-infant pairs recruited at public maternity units in two municipalities in the Brazilian state of Bahia, from March 2005 to October 2006. This paper reports the results for linear growth of 489 children who were followedup for the first 12 months of their lives. A mixed-effect regression model was used to investigate the influence of covariates of mean length/age z score during the first year of life. Results:The multivariate mixed effect analysis indicated that mothers not cohabiting with a partner (β = 0.2347; p = 0.004) and increased duration of exclusive breastfeeding (β = 0.0031; p < 0.001) had a positive impact, whereas mother's height less than 150 cm (β = -0.4393; p < 0.001), birth weight of 2,500-2,999 g (β = -0.8084; p < 0.001) and anemia in the child (β = -0.0875; p < 0.001) all had a negative impact on the variation in estimated length/age z score.Conclusions: Therefore, the results of this study indicate that short maternal stature, birth weight < 3,000 g and anemia in the infant had a negative effect on linear growth during the first year of life, whereas longer duration exclusive breastfeeding and mothers who did not cohabit with a partner had a positive effect.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2012;88(1):79-86: Infant growth, predictors, mixed effect models, cohort study. ResumoObjetivo: Investigar covariáveis que possam interferir na variação da média do índice comprimento/idade em escore Z no primeiro ano de vida de crianças nascidas a termo com peso adequado.Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte prospectivo, envolvendo pares de mães e crianças recrutadas nas maternidades públicas de dois municípios do estado da Bahia, entre março de 2005 e outubro de 2006. Neste estudo, apresentam-se os resultados para o crescimento linear de 489 crianças acompanhadas durante os primeiros 12 meses de vida. O modelo de efeitos mistos foi utilizado para explorar a influência de covariáveis na média do índice comprimento/idade em escore Z no primeiro ano de vida.Resultados: Na análise múltipla de efeito misto, observou-se que ausência de coabitação materna com companheiro (β = 0,2347; p = 0,004) e maior tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo (β = 0,0031; p < 0,001) contribuíram positivamente, enquanto a altura materna menor do que 150 cm (β = -0,4393; p < 0,001), peso ao nascer entre 2.500-2.999 g (β = -0,8084; p < 0,001) e a anemia na criança (β = -0,0875; p < 0,001) contribuíram de forma negativa na variação das estimativas do índice comprimento/idade em escore Z.Conclusões: Assim, os resultados deste estudo indicam que a baixa estatura materna, o peso de nascimento < 3.000 g e a anemia influenciaram negativamente o crescimento linear no primeiro ano de vida, enquanto a maior duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo e a ausência de coabitação materna com companheiro exerceram influênci...

“…6 Inadequate growth during childhood can result in reduced adult stature, low educational performance, reduced economic productivity, impaired work capacity and heightened disease risk. [7][8][9][10][11][12] Rapid physical growth and development occur in early life when infants are dependent on the primary caregiver for their social and nutritional needs, 13 which makes young children vulnerable to the effects of their caregivers' mental health problems.…”
