Influence of duration of total breast-feeding on bone mineral density in a Turkish population: does the priority of risk factors differ from society to society?

Abstract: This study showed significant associations between total duration of breast-feeding and BMD. In conclusion, total duration of breast-feeding might be an important risk factor besides age, weight, and years since menopause in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

“…In terms of analyses, authors should adequately address known confounders, such as breastfeeding intention, birth complications, diet, physical activity, tobacco use, mental health, and social support and clearly report a rationale for why certain factors were chosen. Future studies might also consider the extent to which adverse lactation outcomes, like adverse pregnancy outcomes, 241 may be a window to maternal health.…”

“…Study reported that postmenopausal women who breast fed more than one year per child have an increased risk for bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and it is a risk factor for osteoporosis (21). Study observed that women who had an average breastfeeding period of more than one year per child showed a strong positive correlation with osteoporosis (28). Regarding frequency of breastfeeding/day: More than half (53%) of the study sample was 4 times/ day breastfeeding as shown in table (2) , study indicated breastfeeding its frequency (4 times or more) and duration (1-6 months) as significant affected elements of bone density (29).…”
