- Group. Lower protein content in infant formula reduces BMI and obesity risk at school age: follow-up of a randomized trial. Am J Clin Nutr. 2014. 99(5):1041-51.
- No significant difference in mean BMI
and obesity risk between low protein and breastfed children.
- Adjusted odds of being obese at 6
years of age is 2.43 times higher in high protein than breastfed group.
- More rapid weight gain in formula-fed
might be mediated through enhanced secretion of insulin and IGF-I.
- Early adiposity rebound was observed
in high protein group; earlier adiposity rebound is associated with increased risk of later obesity.
