“…Postnatal FM accretion from 0 to 4 months was positively associated with FMI at 4 years. Several studies from high-income settings 17 , 20 , 54 have linked infant weight gain or fat accretion with higher levels of childhood adiposity, and one study in Brazil 55 showed consistent results. However, a few studies from low- and middle-income countries showed opposite association 21 – 23 in which weight gain associated with FFM but not with FM.…”

Background/ObjectivesLow and high birth weight and rapid weight gain during infancy are associated with childhood obesity. Associations of birth and infancy body composition (BC) growth with childhood BC remain unknown in low-income countries. We aimed to investigate the associations of fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) at birth and its accretion during early infancy with FM and FFM at the age of 4 years.MethodsIn the infant Anthropometry and Body Composition (iABC) cohort, BC was assessed at six consecutive time points from birth to 6 months and at 4 years of age by air displacement plethysmography. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the association between FM and FFM at birth and their accretion rates during infancy and FM index (FMI) and FFM index (FFMI) at 4 years in 314 children.ResultsOne kilogram higher FFM at birth was associated with a 1.07 kg/m2 higher FFMI (95% CI 0.60, 1.55) at 4 years while a one SD increment in FFM accretion rate from 0 to 6 months was associated with a 0.24 kg/m2 increment in FFMI (95% CI 0.11, 0.36) and with a 0.20 kg/m2 higher FMI at 4 years (β = 0.20; 95% CI 0.04, 0.37). FFM at birth did not predict FMI at 4 years. FM at birth was associated with 1.17 kg/m2 higher FMI at 4 years (95% CI 0.13, 2.22) whereas FM accretion from 0 to 4 months was associated with an increase in FMI of 0.30 kg/m2 (95% CI 0.12, 0.47). FM at birth did not predict FFMI at 4 years, and neither did FM accretion from 0 to 4 months.ConclusionsA higher FFM in early infancy predicted higher FFMI at 4 years while a higher FM accretion during early infancy predicted higher FMI at 4 years. Follow-up studies are merited to explore associations of childhood BC with cardio-metabolic risk later in life.

“…In the United States in 2012, 71% of adults aged 18 years and older reported drinking in the past year, and 51.3% of adults were current regular drinkers, defined as 12 or more drinks in the past year (Schiller, Lucas, Ward, & Peregoy, 2012). Older adults tend to decrease their total alcohol intake after retirement (Ferreira & Weems, 2008); in a 2008 national survey, approximately 40% of adults aged 65 years and older reported that they drank alcohol (Jardim-Botelho et al, 2014).…”

“…It is possible that our sample was not large enough to detect an association, especially considering the low number of exclusively breastfed infants and the low number of overweight/obese children at age 2. It is also possible that other factors mitigated the relationship between early feeding and weight status at age 2, such as formula supplementation in year 1 of life, use of inappropriate foods and fluids early in life, or overfeeding or inappropriate types of foods before age 2 (Jardim‐Botelho et al, ; Saavedra, Deming, Dattilo, & Reidy, ). Finally, weight status using BMI may be a different indicator of overweight at age 2 than anthropometric measures.…”

In formula-fed infants, rapid weight gain during the first week of life is associated with later obesity. To examine the association between weight gain during the first week and overweight at age 2 among infants with various feeding practices and the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding in early infancy and overweight, we enrolled a prospective cohort of healthy mother-infant dyads and followed them for 2 years. We enrolled 450 mother/infant pairs and obtained information on 306 infants at year 2. Weight change during the first week of life and detailed feeding information were collected during the first month of life. Anthropometric measures were collected at 2 years. Overweight was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥85th percentile for age. At 2 years, 81% had normal weights and 19% were overweight. Maternal pre-pregnancy BMI; infant birth weight; maternal education; and Women, Infants, and Children status were associated with the risk of overweight at age 2. Children who gained more than 100 g during the first week were 2.3 times as likely after adjustment (p = .02) to be overweight at age 2 compared to infants who lost weight. There was no association between feeding type and BMI, but feeding type was significantly associated with change in weight at week 1 and anthropometric measurements at age 2. Infant weight gain in the first week of life is related to overweight at age 2, and exclusively breastfed infants are least likely to gain ≥100 g.
