Influência da introdução alimentar precoce para o desenvolvimento da obesidade infantil: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

<jats:p>A better understanding of the predictors of childhood obesity is essential to effectively target public health interventions. The objective of this integrative review was to verify whether the introduction of early complementary feeding can related to the development of childhood obesity. For the selection of studies, publications indexed in the following databases were searched: (MEDLINE / Pubmed, ScienceDirect, LILACS and SCIELO). For the choice of writings in the databases, the following descriptors were used: "Diet", "Pediatric obesity" and "Breast feeding". Studies of preterm children and children with conditions that can influence growth, articles who had only abstract available and experimental animal studies were excluded. 16 studies met the inclusion criteria for the integrative review. No clear association was found between the age of initiation of solid feed and obesity. It is presumed that genetic and environmental factors have a greater impact on childhood obesity. This leads to the conclusion that all nutritional education work with a family approach to obesity prevention will certainly be more effective than working to change a single factor, wich is the timing of the introduction of solid feed.</jats:p>

Influence of behavioral and dietary aspects on children's oral health

“…In this work, many preschoolers ate outside mealtimes, always extremely sugary foods, and drinking soda and artificially sweetened juice during meals was also widely reported by parents. Although the frequency of ingestion of sugary foods is not associated with caries breakdowns in this study, these habits are bad for the preschooler's health and negatively affects an adequate food sedimentation, necessary in this age group, in addition to causing short-term and long-term health problems, such as dental caries, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, anemia, high blood pressure, malnutrition, osteoporosis, among others (Barone et al, 2018;Cinar, Christensen, & Hede, 2011;Lima et al, 2020;Moreno et al, 2013;Verduci et al, 2019).…”

“…On the other hand, having a diet excessively rich in carbohydrates, sucrose and lipids has a negative effect on the individual's body; and when this diet is part of one's eating habits early in life, there is a predisposition to chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as diabetes and obesity (Lima et al, 2020;Moreno et al, 2013). In addition, the high frequency of sugary foods ingestion with a low frequency of tooth cleaning and/or brushing interferes with the oral microbiome, contributing with the emergence of oral diseases, such as dental caries breakdowns (Barone et al, 2018;Gibson & Williams, 1999;Marshall, Broffitt, Eichenberger-Gilmore, Warren, Cunningham, & Levy, 2005).…”

“…Since tooth decay is an important global public health problem (Kassebaum et al, 2017) and shares common risk factors, such as diet, and other conditions, with obesity and other health problems (Lima et al, 2020;Moreno et al, 2013), there is a need for collaboration between oral and general health care providers to manage the emergence of diseases resulting from an unbalanced diet, caries and dental disease in preschoolers (Cinar, Christensen, & Hede, 2011). The purpose of this study was to verify the association of microbiological aspects, behavioral and eating habits that affect the oral health of preschoolers.…”

Complementary Feeding Approaches: Characteristics, Differences and Impact on Child Development

“…The guidance presented is that a safe complementary food should be inserted after the period of six months of life (post-breastfeeding), with adequate consistency along with quality nutritional properties and in appropriate quantity. Thus, it contributes to an increase in healthy well-being with regard to weight gain, prevention of illnesses such as allergies, diarrhea, reduced risk of developing hypertension, diabetes, obesity and increased cholesterol throughout life ( [1], [2], [3]).…”

Aleitamento materno e introdução da alimentação complementar: uma análise de povos indígenas

“…De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) (1991), é recomendável o aleitamento materno exclusivo até os 6 meses de idade e que a alimentação complementar saudável seja introduzida a partir dos 6 meses. Posto que ambos protegem contra infecções respiratórias, diarreias, alergias, otites, além de diminuir o risco de hipertensão, colesterol alto, diabetes e sobrepeso (Dias, Freire & Franceschini, 2010;Lima et al, 2020).…”
