The divergent results can be explained by the fact that obesity is a multifactorial disease 49 , which transcends the results of caloric intake, and may be related not only to food consumption but also to breastfeeding early termination, with inadequate introduction of complementary feeding 2 , family environment, genetic, socioeconomic factors and regular practice of physical activity 50 .…”
