“…Our results are consistent with those of several previous studies that found no differences in the mean SBP and DBP of children who were breastfed as compared to those not breastfed during infancy (de Jonge et al 2010;Fall et al 2011;Horta et al 2006;Izadi et al 2013;Kramer 2010;Kramer et al 2007;Kwok et al 2013;Rudnicka et al 2007). However, several studies have found the opposite, (Amorim Rde et al 2014;Hosaka et al 2013;Lawlor et al 2004;Martin et al 2004) including two earlier systematic reviews with metaanalysis Owen et al 2003).…”

“…Previous research examining the associations between breastfeeding and later childhood CVD risk factors has yielded conflicting results. For example, while some studies have found a significant protective effect of breastfeeding on child CVD risk factors such as systolic blood pressure (SBP) (Amorim Rde et al 2014;Hosaka et al 2013;Lawlor et al 2004), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (Martin et al , 2004Owen et al 2003), and lipid levels in childhood (Plagemann and Harder 2005;Plancoulaine et al 2000;Thorsdottir et al 2003), others have not (Bekkers et al 2011;de Jonge et al 2010;Fall et al 2011;Horta et al , 2015Izadi et al 2013;Kramer 2010;Kramer et al 2007;Kwok et al 2013;Owen et al 2002Owen et al , 2008Rudnicka et al 2007). These discrepancies may in part reflect the role of childhood adiposity, a factor associated with blood pressure and cholesterol (McMurray et al 1995).…”

Introduction-The immediate benefits of breastfeeding are well-established but the long-term health benefits are less well-known. West Virginia (WV) has a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and lower breastfeeding rates compared to national averages. There is a paucity of research examining the relationship between breastfeeding and subsequent childhood CVD risk factors, an issue of particular relevance in WV. Methods-This study used longitudinally linked data from three cross-sectional datasets in WV (N = 11,980). The information on breastfeeding was obtained retrospectively via parental recall when the child was in the fifth grade. The outcome variables included blood pressure measures [systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP)] and lipid profile [total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), non-HDL, and triglycerides (TG)]. Multiple regression analyses were performed, adjusting for childhood body mass index (BMI) and additional covariates. Results-Only 43% of mothers selfreported ever breastfeeding. The unadjusted analysis showed that children who were ever vs. never breastfed had significantly lower SBP

“…In the update literature search, a new publication that evaluated the association between breastfeeding and prevalence of type 2 diabetes was identified, and the meta‐analysis included 11 studies (Table S4). Breastfeeding was associated with a lower odds of type 2 diabetes [pooled odds ratio: 0.65 (95% confidence interval: 0.49; 0.86)], using a random‐effect model.…”

Aim: To systematically review the evidence on the associations between breastfeeding and overweight/obesity, blood pressure, total cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.Methods: Two independent literature searches were carried out using the MEDLINE, LILACS, SCIELO and Web of Science databases. Studies restricted to infants and those without an internal comparison group were excluded. Fixed-and random-effects models were used to pool the estimates.Results: Breastfed subjects were less likely to be considered obese/overweight [pooled odds ratio: 0.74 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.70; 0.78)] (n = 113). Among the 11 high-quality studies, the association was smaller [pooled odds ratio: 0.87 (95%CI: 0.76; 0.99)]. Total cholesterol (n = 46) was independent of breastfeeding [pooled mean difference: À0.01 mmol/L (95%CI: À0.05; 0.02)]. Systolic blood pressure (n = 43) was lower among breastfed subjects [mean difference: À0.80 (95%CI: À1.17; À0.43)], but no association was observed among larger studies, and for diastolic blood pressure (n = 38) [mean difference: À0.24 (95%CI: À0.50; 0.02)]. For type 2 diabetes (n = 11), the odds ratio was lower among those subjects who had been breastfed [pooled odds ratio: 0.65 (95%CI: 0.49; 0.86)]. Conclusion:Breastfeeding decreased the odds of type 2 diabetes and based on highquality studies, decreased by 13% the odds of overweight/obesity. No associations were found for total cholesterol or blood pressure.

“…[6869] The results are inconclusive in this regard. The duration of breast feeding is also important in its protective role against cardiovascular diseases (Ref); however, our study among adolescents did not confirm such association[70]; possibly these effects would develop over longer periods of time.…”

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, etc., are the major causes of mortality in the world, notably in low- and middle-income countries. A growing body of evidence suggests that NCDs have a complex etiology resulting from the interaction of genetic factors, gender, age, ethnicity, and the environmental factors. It is well-documented that chronic diseases in adulthood origins in early life. In recent years, much attention has been focused on primordial and primary prevention of NCD risk factors. There are many biological and epidemiological studies on beneficial effects of breastfeeding during infancy on chronic diseases in adulthood, particularly on hypertension, obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and cardiovascular diseases. This review article aims to summarize the current literature on the long-term effects of breastfeeding on prevention of NCDs and their risk factors.The current literature is controversial about these effects; however, a growing body of evidence suggests that breastfeeding has protective roles against obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type II diabetes mellitus during adulthood. In addition to its short-term benefits, encouraging breastfeeding can have long-term beneficial health effects at individual and population levels.
