“…Anderson et al 2 did not find any association between LRI and child-care homes, while Marbury et al 24 and Holberg et al 18 found no difference between the various forms of child care studied. In fact, in both studies, groups of 3 or more children were already at a higher risk than home cared children independently of child-care setting.…”

“…Adjusted analyses were not reported. Marbury et al 24 found an overall relative risk of 2 for children in child care. The adjusted relative risks found for care at own home (with someone other than the parents), child-care homes and child-care centers were 1.7 (1.4-2.1), 2.0 (1.7-2.3) and 2.3 (1.9-2.8).…”

Proibida a utilização de matérias para fins comerciais. All rights reserved. Revista de Saúde Pública AbstractPapers on child-care attendance as a risk factor for acute respiratory infections and diarrhea were reviewed. There was great variety among the studies with regard to the design, definition of exposure and definition of outcomes. All the traditional epidemiological study designs have been used. The studies varied in terms of how child-care attendance in general was defined, and for different settings. These definitions differed especially in relation to the minimum time of attendance required. The outcomes were also defined and measured in several different ways. The analyses performed were not always appropriate, leading to sets of results of uneven quality, and composed of different measures of association relating different exposures and outcomes, that made summarizing difficult. Despite that, the results reported were remarkably consistent. Only two of the papers reviewed failed to show some association between child-care attendance and increased acute respiratory infections, or diarrhea. On the other hand, the magnitude of the associations reported varied widely, especially for lower respiratory infections. Taken together, the studies so far published provide evidence that children attending child-care centers, especially those under three years of age, are at a higher risk of upper respiratory infections, lower respiratory infections, and diarrhea. The studies were not consistent, however, in relation to attendance at child-care homes. Children in such settings were sometimes similar to those in child-care centers, sometimes similar to those cared for at home, and sometimes presented an intermediate risk.

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] The risks of these infectious diseases are affected by several factors including birth weight, gestational age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, number of siblings, day care attendance, and parental smoking. 3,5,6,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Breastfeeding has been suggested as a modifiable influencing factor. When given exclusively, breastfeeding reduces the risk of infectious diseases in infants in developing countries.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Exclusive breastfeeding seems to decrease the risk of infectious diseases in infancy. However, the World Health Organization has called for more research regarding the benefits for 6 months instead of 4 months of exclusive breastfeeding. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Exclusive breastfeeding to the age of 6 months tended to be more protective than exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 4 months and partially thereafter. Our findings support health-policy strategies that promote exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months in industrialized countries. abstract OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations of duration of exclusive breastfeeding with infections in the upper respiratory (URTI), lower respiratory (LRTI), and gastrointestinal tracts (GI) in infancy. METHODS:This study was embedded in the Generation R Study, a population-based prospective cohort study from fetal life onward in the Netherlands. Rates of breastfeeding during the first 6 months (never; partial for Ͻ4 months, not thereafter; partial for 4 -6 months; exclusive for 4 months, not thereafter; exclusive for 4 months, partial thereafter; and exclusive for 6 months) and doctor-attended infections in the URTI, LRTI, and GI until the age of 12 months were assessed by questionnaires and available for 4164 subjects. RESULTS:Compared with never-breastfed infants, those who were breastfed exclusively until the age of 4 months and partially thereafter had lower risks of infections in the URTI, LRTI, and GI until the age of 6 months (adjusted odds ratio . Similar tendencies were observed for infants who were exclusively breastfed for 6 months or longer. Partial breastfeeding, even for 6 months, did not result in significantly lower risks of these infections. CONCLUSIONS:Exclusive breastfeeding until the age of 4 months and partially thereafter was associated with a significant reduction of respiratory and gastrointestinal morbidity in infants. Our findings support healthpolicy strategies to promote exclusive breastfeeding for at least 4 months, but preferably 6 months, in industrialized countries.

“…Os trabalhos científicos existentes são praticamente unânimes em mostrar que as crianças que freqüentam creches adoecem mais freqüente-mente que as crianças cuidadas exclusivamente em casa (Haskins & Kotch, 1986;Barros, 1999). Em particular, crianças que freqüentam creches apresentam uma ocorrência de pneumonia 2 a 12 vezes maior que as crianças cuidadas em casa (Victora et al, 1994;Fonseca et al, 1996;Marbury et al, 1997). Diarréia é outro problema que ocorre com freqüência 60 a 250% maior nas crianças em creches (Alexander et al, 1990;Hillis et al, 1992).…”
