“…Twenty-three reviews limited their population to studies of premature infants. One review specifically addressed infants who were term but small for gestational age (SGA) (Santiago et al, 2019). Twenty reviews reported the country or region that was the setting of the primary studies.…”

“…Several reviews analysing fat fortification of both human milk and formula found that it makes no difference in growth. Five reviews specifically addressed the effect of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC PUFA) (Gibson et al, 2001;Moon et al, 2016;Newberry et al, 2016;Rodríguez et al, 2012;Udell et al, 2005). Three metaanalyses of formula fortified with LC PUFA showed no statistically significant effect on weight, length or head circumference within the first 6 months of life (Moon et al, 2016;Newberry et al, 2016;Udell et al, 2005).…”

“…Three metaanalyses of formula fortified with LC PUFA showed no statistically significant effect on weight, length or head circumference within the first 6 months of life (Moon et al, 2016;Newberry et al, 2016;Udell et al, 2005). Two systematic reviews described mixed results in a qualitative assessment (Gibson et al, 2001;Rodríguez et al, 2012). A metaanalysis of general fat fortification found no impact on growth, though only one small study was reported (weight gain: MD 0.60 g/kg/day; 95% CI −2.4, 3.6; linear growth: MD 0.1 cm/week; 95% CI −0.08, 0.3; head growth: MD 0.2 cm/week; 95% CI −0.07, 0.40) (Amissah et al, 2018b).…”

“…Although we sought to include recommendations for all LBW infants, the study populations in the included reviews were concentrated within the VLBW weight band. Eighty-one per cent of reviews had an average population birthweight between 1000 and 1500 g, whereas only 15% had an average birthweight falling between 1500 and <2500 g (Cao et al, 2018;Fenton et al, 2014;Gibson et al, 2001;Santiago et al, 2019). Most of these were deemed to be low quality on the basis of the AMSTAR 2 rating (Cao et al, 2018;Gibson et al, 2001;Santiago et al, 2019).…”

Approximately 15% of infants worldwide are born with low birthweight (<2500 g).These children are at risk for growth failure. The aim of this umbrella review is to assess the relationship between infant milk type, fortification and growth in lowbirthweight infants, with particular focus on low-and lower middle-income countries. We conducted a systematic review in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase and Web of Science comparing infant milk options and growth, grading the strength of evidence based on standard umbrella review criteria. Twenty-six systematic reviews qualified for inclusion. They predominantly focused on infants with very low birthweight (<1500 g) in high-income countries. We found the strongest evidence for (1) the addition of energy and protein fortification to human milk (donor or mother's milk) leading to increased weight gain (mean difference [MD] 1.81 g/kg/day; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23, 2.40), linear growth (MD 0.18 cm/week; 95% CI 0.10, 0.26) and head growth (MD 0.08 cm/week; 95% CI 0.04, 0.12) and (2) formula compared with donor human milk leading to increased weight gain (MD 2.51 g/kg/day; 95% CI 1.93, 3.08), linear growth (MD 1.21 mm/week; 95% CI 0.77, 1.65) and head growth (MD 0.85 mm/week; 95% CI 0.47, 1.23). We also found evidence of improved growth when protein is added to both human milk and formula. Fat supplementation did not seem to affect growth. More research is needed for infants with birthweight 1500-2500 g in low-and lower middle-income countries.

“…2 This evidence has been related to the different composition of breast milk and to its hormonal response when compared with other types of milk, which may also be associated with the adaptation to the diet after BF. 3 In 2018, Reyes et al observed that adolescents who were breastfed for less than six months had lower levels of adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing and cardio-protective hormone that improves the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates, with anti-inflammatory effects. 4 A review of this issue, published in 2015, concluded that the neuroendocrine programming could explain the inverse association between BF and overweight/obesity in children.…”

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.
