The effects of different nutrition models on physical growth of the first 12 months of life

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different feeding type on the physical growth of infants in the first 12 months of life. Materials and methods: Seventy-five infants who visited the children outpatient clinics or/and vaccination clinics regularly were recruited for the study. They were classified into breast feeding group (N=28, 14 male and 14 female), Formula feeding group (N=22, 11 male, 11 female), and mixed feeding group (N=25, 14 male, 11 female) accord­ing to the feedings types before 6-months-old. The growth indices were measured and standardized growth charts for Turkish children were used for comparison. Results: The body weight and lengths of infants in the all three groups showed no statistical difference for the first 4 months according to the feeding types (p>0.05). How­ever, growth of the infants with formula feeding and mixed feeding began to exceed the breast feed group gradually from the 4 months on. The differences of weight are sta­tistically significant from 6-12 month and 4-12 month re­spectively, compared with breast feeding group (p

Farklı beslenme modellerinin hayatın ilk 12 ayındaki fiziksel büyüme üzerine etkileri

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada amacımız, hayatın ilk 6 ayındaki farklı beslenme modellerinin bebeğin ilk yılı sonundaki fiziksel büyümesine olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve yöntem: Hastanemiz, Aşı ve Sağlam çocuk polikliniğine Şubat 2008-Kasım 2009 tarihleri arasında düzenli olarak başvuran olgular, büyüme- gelişme ve aşı dosyaları incelendi. İncelenen olgularda, sadece anne sütü (AS) ile beslenenler, anne sütü ile birlikte mama alanlar ve yalnızca mama ile beslenen bebeklerin büyü­me ve gelişmeleri ülkemiz için geliştirilmiş gelişme kriter­lerine göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya, 28 olgu (14 kız, 14 erkek) sadece anne sütü ile beslenen, 25 (14 kız, 11 erkek) olgu anne sütü ile beraber mama ile beslenen ve 22 (11 kız, 11 er­kek) olgu olmak üzere toplam 75 bebek alındı. Olgularımı­zın beslenme şekillerine göre boy uzaması ve ilk 4 aydaki vücut ağırlıklarında her üç grup arasında fark görülmedi.(p>0.05) Ancak 4. aydan sonra anne sütü alanlarda diğer iki gruba göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı daha az tartı al­dığı görüldü (p
