“…26 It is worth noting that childhood and adolescence obesity is a risk factor for obesity in adulthood. 7 Results from adjusted analyses in the present study showed a statistical association between maternal BF and overweight/ obesity prevalence among schoolchildren aged 7-10 years, and between BF duration (≤ 6 months) and overweight/obesity prevalence among schoolchildren aged 7-10 years; however, such association was not found in the older group (schoolchildren aged 11-14 years). The results of this study are similar to the findings of Grube et al, who conducted a study on German children and adolescents in 2003-2006 and observed a protective effect of BF on children aged 7-10 years, although they did not find an association in other age groups (3-6, 11-13, and 14-17 years of age).…”

“…5 However, the hypothesis of this protective effect remains unclear, with some studies conducted in the second half of the 2010s that verified different associations between BF or its duration and obesity. [5][6][7] Studies on this association have been carried out in Brazil, [8][9][10] particularly on elementary school students, but they were conducted using different methods regarding the definition of outcome and independent variables. Siqueira & Monteiro, in a study conducted in São Paulo in 2007, observed a twice chance of overweight/obesity in children aged 6-14 years who have never been breastfed, compared with those breastfed (dichotomic variable: breastfed vs. never breastfed).…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of breastfeeding (BF) and the association between occurrence/duration of BF and overweight/obesity in schoolchildren aged 7-14 years. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in 2012-2013, on schoolchildren aged 7-14 years from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Weight and height were measured according to procedures of the World Health Organization. Breastfeeding and sociodemographic data were obtained from a questionnaire responded by parents/guardians. BF was categorized as a dichotomous variable (yes/no) and according to duration (months). Nutritional status was evaluated according to the Z score of the body mass index per age for sex and it was categorized into two groups: normal weight (<Z score+1) and overweight/obesity (≥Z score+1). The adjusted analysis was performed by logistic regression in two age strata (age groups of 7-10 and 11-14 years). Results: 6.6% of schoolchildren had never breastfed; 16.8% had been breastfed for ≤3 months; 16.7%, for 4-6 months; and 59.9%, for ≥7 months. No statistically significant differences were found in the occurrence and duration of BF between the age groups. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 34.2%. For age groups (7-10 and 11-14 years), the prevalence of overweight/obesity was 36.7% and 29.8%, respectively. Chance of overweight/obesity for the age group of 7-10 years was lower among schoolchildren who were breastfed (OR=0.54; 95%CI 0.33-0.88), when compared with those who never breastfed. When categorized, the chance of overweight/obesity in the age group of 7-10 years was lower for duration of BF ≤3 months (OR=0.41; 95%CI 0.20-0.83), and 4-6 months (OR=0.48; 95%CI 0.28-0.82) when compared with children who never breastfed. Conclusions: BF for at least six months was associated with a lower chance of overweight/obesity for schoolchildren aged 7-10 years. No association was found for schoolchildren aged 11-14 years.

“…Our findings in a retrospective cohort of malnourished and control children revealed poor weight gain accompanied with short stature and loss of appetite as the leading symptom profile on admission in malnourished patients, while higher likelihood of younger age, shorter duration of breastfeeding, lower family monthly income and poorer maternal education in malnourished vs. control children. Notably, data from a recent study in Turkish children indicated lower birth weight and shorter breast-feeding duration in children with stunting and underweight than those with normal or taller height and normal weight or overweight/obesity, respectively 18 . In addition, data from Eastern Turkey revealed association of low monthly family income and educational level, prematurity and unemployed father with increased risk of malnutrition, with no significant relationship between malnutrition and gender 12 .…”

Öz Purpose: The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence, demographic characteristics, associated risk factors and effects of enteral nutrition products in malnourished children. Materials and Methods: A total of 229 pediatric outpatients aged 1-18 years with primary malnutrition related growth failure and prescribed with hypercaloric enteral feeding regimen were included. A total of 73 healthy children with normal growth served as the control group. Anthropometric measurements included height (cm), weight (kg), body mass index (kg/m 2), height for age Z score and weight for age Z score. Results: When the malnourished patients were compared with the control group; patients were aged younger and associated with higher likelihood of having a birth weight >3001 , shorter duration of breastfeeding, lower number of siblings, family with lower monthly income and illiterate mothers. In the malnourished group, height, weight, body mass index and height for age and weight for age Z scores improved significantly during 3 rd month and 6 th month as compared with baseline scores, regardless of gender, sibling number, maternal education and monthly income level. Conclusion: Our findings show the efficacy and tolerability of 6-month high-calorie enteral nutritional support given to children with primary malnutrition, regardless of initial symptoms and socioeconomic risk factors. Amaç: Çalışmamız; malnütrisyonlu çocukların prevalansının, demografik özelliklerinin, ilişkili risk faktörlerinin ve kullanılan enteral beslenme ürünlerinin etkilerinin değerlendirilmesini amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Primer malnütrisyona bağlı büyüme yetersizliği olan ve hiperkalorik enteral beslenme rejimi başlanmış 1-18 yaşları arasında toplam 229 pediatrik hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Büyümesi normal 73 sağlıklı çocuk kontrol grubunu oluşturdu. Antropometrik ölçümlere; boy (cm), ağırlık (kg), vücut kitle indeksi (kg/m 2), yaşa göre boy Z skoru ve yaşa göre ağırlık Z skoru dahil edildi. Bulgular: Malnutrisyonlu hastalar kontrol grubu ile kıyaslandığında; daha küçük yaşta ve doğum ağırlığı >3001 g olanlarda malnütrisyonun görülme olasılığının daha fazla olduğu, bu hastaların emzirme sürelerinin daha kısa, kardeş sayısının daha az, ailelerinin düşük aylık gelirli ve annelerinin okuma yazma bilmiyor oldukları gözlendi. Malnütrisyonlu grupta boy, ağırlık (, vücut kitle indeksi, yaşa göre boy ve yaşa göre ağırlık Z skorları; cinsiyet, kardeş sayısı, anne eğitimi ve aylık gelir düzeyinden bağımsız olarak, başlangıç değerlerine kıyasla, 3. ve 6. ay kontrollerinde önemli ölçüde iyileşmiştir. Sonuç: Bulgularımız başlangıç semptomları ve sosyoekonomik risk faktörlerinden bağımsız olarak, primer malnutrisyonlu çocuklarda verilen 6 aylık yüksek kalorili enteral beslenme desteğinin etkililiğini ve tolere edilebilirliğini göstermektedir.
