Infant age at egg introduction and malnutrition‐related child growth in the United States

Abstract: To evaluate the relationship between infant age of egg introduction and malnutrition‐related growth outcomes in the United States, we analysed secondary data of 1716 mother–child dyads in the Infant Feeding Practices Study II and its Year 6 Follow‐Up Study. Malnutrition‐related growth outcomes included body mass index z‐score (BMIZ), obesity (weight‐for‐height z‐score [WHZ] ≥3 or BMIZ ≥ 2), WHZ, wasting (WHZ < −2), height‐for‐age z‐score (HAZ), and stunting (HAZ < –2). Infant age at egg introduction was analys… Show more

“…Furthermore, these beneficial changes were more pronounced in children younger than 2 years of age as opposed to those older than 2 years. These findings are consistent with the observation that earlier introduction of eggs during infancy is associated with better growth indicators in children 1-6 years old (19), and suggest that supplementation with eggs can potentially improve the nutritional status of young children in low-and middle-income countries. Similarly, they suggest an urgency for early intervention, as the results were less supportive of interventions after 2 years of age.…”

“…For example, a deficiency of choline negatively impacts lean body mass growth in infants (14,16,17), whereas intake of high-quality animal protein is associated with increased growth trajectory in both weight and height (18). Moreover, a large observational study in the United States found that delayed egg introduction during infancy is associated with a lower mean height-for-age Z-score and a higher risk of stunting in 6-yearold children (19).…”

“…Rekomendasi memilih menu asupan gizi banyak ragamnya, dari yang murah hingga yang mahal. Salah satu yang relatif mudah terjangkau dan tetap berkualitas dalam memenuhi kebutuhan asupan gizi harian, terutama bagi ibu hamil dan anak dalam masa pertumbuhan adalah dengan mengkonsumsi telur (Gray & Gibson, 2014;Mi et al, 2022). Telur menjadi asupan sumber protein lengkap yang mampu memperkecil risiko stunting.…”
