The purpose of the present paper is to assess the validity of maternal recall of EBF duration during infancy, after cessation of EBF and to evaluate the two methods to collect retrospective data on EBF.
Shorter duration of breastfeeding in infancy has been suggested to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
Breastfeeding duration impacts obesity, a host of infections of infancy, and breastfeeding duration affects a host of maternal diseases as well.
We used linear regression to predict BMI, WC and WHR at adulthood from BF duration at infancy.
The effects of IPI duration on mortality during subperiods of infancy are estimated with Cox proportional hazards models.
Although studies into the dose or duration of gluten exposure in infancy may prove useful, further study is needed into exposure in adults.
There are also many other factors that increase the likelihood of being overweight later in life, such as rapid growth during the first two years of life, short duration of breastfeeding, obesity in infancy, short sleep duration, <30 min of daily physical activity and consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and so on.
Age at completion was associated with study centre, presence of neurological abnormalities in early infancy, and duration of prenatal treatment.
Several studies have shown that duration of breastfeeding influences bone mass beyond infancy [7], [8] but the persistence, direction, and magnitude of this effect have remained unclear.
1, 2 In a study of school age children who had received VGB as infants, Riikonen and coworkers 3 detected visual field defects (VFD) in one third, and further verified that the rate of VFDs increased from 9%to63%3% as the duration of VGB treatment had increased during infancy.
The onset of anaemia during early infancy and the prolonged duration of steroid therapy make DBA unique with respect to the risk of side effects (Table V).
