“…A few studies have been published after Ong and Loos's systematic review and confirm their findings. [42][43][44] One of these recent studies 42 stratified analyses by breastfeeding status and found similar association for subjects who were breast-fed compared to those who were not, suggesting that the association between rapid infancy weight gain and later development of obesity is not limited to formula-fed infants. The focus of most studies has been to investigate weight gain as changes in weight for age, because it is the best indicator of a positive energy balance.…”

Increased interest in early life origins of chronic disease, a concept often referred to as programming, has resulted in several studies investigating the origins of childhood or adulthood obesity during infancy. Rapid infancy weight gain as a risk factor and breastfeeding as a protective factor for later obesity have been most thoroughly studied. The association between rapid infancy weight gain and later obesity is supported by several observational studies, but not by the two, relatively small, randomized trials. This association is strong, suggests a dose-response effect and has biological plausibility, but is not consistent between study designs. Rapid infancy weight gain as a risk factor for later obesity has been experimentally reproduced in animal models, but not in humans. The protective effect of breastfeeding on obesity is also supported by several observational studies, but randomized trials are not available. Considering the potential for residual confounding factors, current evidence is insufficient to demonstrate origins of obesity during infancy or to change public health recommendations, but the potential for obesity prevention during infancy is promising.

“…Nevertheless, we did not find evidence to suggest that exposure to atole during the first 1000 d was associated with BMI latent class membership. Studies in high-income countries have shown an association between rapid growth before age 2 y and obesity risk (25)(26)(27); however, others found no increased risk when weight gain was appropriate for linear growth (28,29). A study of infant BMI trajectories in the Philippines found that accelerated infant BMI did not have longterm consequences on young-adult BMI (30).…”

Arch Argent Pediatr 2011;109(5):392-397 / 392 RESUMEN Introducción. Las alteraciones en el crecimiento temprano se asocian con diferentes condiciones adversas en el curso de la vida. Objetivo. Analizar la asociación entre variación en el estado nutricional durante el segundo semestre de la vida y tensión arterial al año de vida, según condiciones al nacer y patrones alimentarios en una cohorte de niños sanos. Población y métodos. Estudio prospectivo de una cohorte de niños sanos seguidos entre los 6 y 12 meses de edad, entre octubre/2007 y marzo/08 en el Hospital Pedro de Elizalde. Se valoró peso y edad gestacional al nacer, peso, talla e índice de masa corporal (IMC) a los 6, 9 y 12 meses, duración de lactancia materna y tensión arterial a los 12 meses de edad. Resultados. Se estudiaron 120 niños que completaron el seguimiento. La variación en el valor estandarizado de IMC entre 6-12 meses de edad constituye el único predictor de IMC a los 12 meses (R 2 0,12; Coef b 0,34; error estándar 0,11; p 0,006). La interacción entre duración de lactancia materna y bajo peso para la edad gestacional constituye el principal predictor de la variación de IMC (R 2 0,11; Coef b -0,15; error estándar 0,04, p < 0,001). El incremento en una unidad estandarizada de IMC al año implica un incremento en 1,76 mmHg de tensión arterial diastólica. Conclusión. El aumento en el IMC se vinculó con menor duración de la lactancia materna. Tal variación se asocia con mayor IMC al año de edad y éste, a su vez, con mayor tensión arterial. Objective. To analyze the association between changes in growth patterns and nutrition status during the second semester of life and blood pressure (BP), according to weight for gestational age (GE), and early dietary patterns, in a sample of healthy children. Methods. Prospective study from a sample of healthy children followed between 6-12 months of age, between 10/07 and 3/08 at Hospital P. Elizalde. Gender, weight and gestational age at birth, weight, height and body mass index (BMI, WHO ref.) at 6, 9 and 12 months, length of breastfeeding, and blood pressure (BP) at 12 months of age were assessed. Results. One hundred twenty infants were follow-up. Variation in standardized BMI between 6-12 months of age is the main predictor of BMI at 12 months of age (R 2 0.12; Coef b 0.34; error estándar 0.11; p 0.006). The interaction term between length of breastfeeding and small for gestational age is the main predictor of changes in BMI between 6-12 months of age (R 2 0.11; Coef b -0.15; error estándar 0.04, p < 0.001). Each standardized unit increment in BMI implies an increase of 1.76 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure at one year. Conclusion. Length of gestation, birth weight and early feeding patterns are associated with weight gain during the first year of life, which is linked at the same time to BMI and BP. The positive change in BMI was associated with shorter duration of breastfeeding and this in turn to higher blood pressure at one year.

Rapid growth among term children whose birth weight was appropriate for gestational age has a longer lasting effect on body fat percentage than on body mass index

Abstract: Rapid growth in infancy and early childhood results in an increased BMI and %BF throughout childhood and an increased risk of overweight at age 7 y among AGA children. Rapid growth in AGA children has a more pronounced effect on %BF than on BMI.
