Ambulatory Care Service, Monash Medical Centre, Clayton, Victoria.
philip.bergman@southernhealth.org.au BACKGROUND: Infants commonly present with failure to thrive. Psychosocial
and nutritional causes are commonly responsible, but significant organic
pathology requires exclusion in all children with failure to thrive.
OBJECTIVE: This article discusses an approach to the assessment of infants
presenting with failure to thrive, together with information on management
and available resources. DISCUSSION: Close liaison between those involved
in the management of infants presenting with failure to thrive--including
family, maternal child health nurse, family doctor and paediatrician--should
usually allow for appropriate intervention to correct the failure to
thrive. |

purpose1 of this study is to test a model describing the relations of
various biopsychosocial, behavioral, and cognitive factors on the health
outcomes of nutritional adequacy and infant birth weight in low-income
pregnant women. Descriptive, cohort design assessed low-income women
(N=55) in their 1st trimester of pregnancy. Eighty percent of the women
did not meet the recommended number of food servings outlined in the Food
Guide Pyramid. Prepregnant body mass index (BMI) and pregnancy-related
dietary changes explained 19% of the variance in nutritional adequacy.
Maternal age, prepregnant BMI, nutritional knowledge, and infant gestation
at birth explained 52% of the variance in infant birth weight. Nutritional
adequacy in the 1st trimester and infant birth weight were not
significantly related. Most low-income women are not meeting the
nutritional requirements of pregnancy. Careful monitoring of dietary
quality may help target women in need of additional nutritional education.
Providing nutritional education throughout pregnancy may lead to improved
dietary patterns that may reduce low birth weight. |

T, Bergmann R, Kallischnigg G, Plagemann A.Duration of breastfeeding and
risk of overweight: a meta-analysis. Am J Epidemiol. 2005 Sep
1;162(5):397-403. Clinic
of Obstetrics, Division of Experimental Obstetrics, Charite-University
Medicine, Berlin, Germany. Observational studies suggest a longer duration of
breastfeeding to be associated dose dependently with a decrease in risk of
overweight in later life. The authors performed a comprehensive
meta-analysis of the existing studies on duration of breastfeeding and
risk of overweight. Studies were included that reported the odds ratio and
95% confidence interval (or the data to calculate them) of overweight
associated with breastfeeding and that reported the duration of
breastfeeding and used exclusively formula-fed subjects as the referent.
Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. By meta-regression, the
duration of breastfeeding was inversely associated with the risk of
overweight (regression coefficient=0.94, 95% confidence interval (CI):
0.89, 0.98). Categorical analysis confirmed this dose-response association
(<1 month of breastfeeding: odds ratio (OR)=1.0, 95% CI: 0.65, 1.55;
1-3 months: OR=0.81, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.88; 4-6 months: OR=0.76, 95% CI:
0.67, 0.86; 7-9 months: OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.82; >9 months:
OR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.91). One month of breastfeeding was associated
with a 4% decrease in risk (OR=0.96/month of breastfeeding, 95% CI: 0.94,
0.98). The definitions of overweight and age had no influence. These
findings strongly support a dose-dependent association between longer
duration of breastfeeding and decrease in risk of overweight. |

The impact of intrapartum analgesia on infant feeding. BJOG.
2005 Jul;112(7):927-34. School
of Health Science, University of Wales, Swansea, UK. OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the impact of intrapartum analgesia on infant feeding at
hospital discharge. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SETTING: Maternity unit
of a UK district general hospital. POPULATION: A random sample of 425
healthy primiparae delivering healthy singleton babies at term in 2000.
METHODS: A random sample of primiparae delivering term neonates was
identified from the birth register. We retrieved and analysed the
corresponding joint midwifery/obstetric case notes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:
Infant feeding method at discharge from hospital. RESULTS: Women [190/424
(45%)] were exclusively bottle feeding their babies at discharge from
hospital. No one commenced breastfeeding after hospital discharge.
Regression analysis revealed that the main determinants of bottle feeding
were as follows: maternal age [odds ratio (OR) 0.90, 95% confidence
interval [CI] 0.85-0.95 per year]; occupation (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40-0.99
for each category, unemployed, manual, non-manual); antenatal feeding
intentions (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.080-0.19 for each category, bottle feeding,
undecided, breastfeeding); caesarean section (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.13-0.47,
caesarean or vaginal delivery); and dose of fentanyl administered
intrapartum (OR 1.004, 95% CI 1.000-1.008, 90% CI 1.001-1.007 for each
microgram administered, range 8-500 mug). CONCLUSIONS: A dose-response
relationship between fentanyl and artificial feeding has not been reported
elsewhere. When well-established determinants of infant feeding are
accounted for, intrapartum fentanyl may impede establishment of
breastfeeding, particularly at higher doses. |

Essential nutrients: food or supplements? Where should the emphasis be? JAMA.
2005 Jul 20;294(3):351-8. Jean
Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, Tufts University,
Boston, MA 02111, USA. alice.lichtenstein@tufts.edu The
consumption of adequate levels and proper balance of essential nutrients
is critical for maintaining health. The identification, isolation, and
purification of nutrients in the early 20th century raised the possibility
that optimal health outcomes could be realized through nutrient
supplementation. Recent attempts using this approach for cardiovascular
disease and lung cancer have been disappointing, as demonstrated with
vitamin E and beta carotene. Moreover, previously unrecognized risks
caused by nutrient toxicity and nutrient interactions have surfaced during
intervention studies. The most promising data in the area of nutrition and
positive health outcomes relate to dietary patterns, not nutrient
supplements. These data suggest that other factors in food or the relative
presence of some foods and the absence of other foods are more important
than the level of individual nutrients consumed. Finally, unknown are the
implications on public health behavior of shifting the emphasis away from
food toward nutrient supplements. Notwithstanding the justification for
targeting recommendations for nutrient supplements to certain segments of
the population (eg, the elderly), there are insufficient data to justify
an alteration in public health policy from one that emphasizes food and
diet to one that emphasizes nutrient supplements. |

elementary school children. Physiol

University, Department of Psychology, Medford, MA 02155, USA.
caroline.mahoney@natick.army.mil The relationship between breakfast composition and cognitive performance was examined in elementary school children. Two experiments compared the effects of two common U.S. breakfast foods and no breakfast on children's cognition. Using a within-participant design, once a week for 3 weeks, children consumed one of two breakfasts or no breakfast and then completed a battery of cognitive tests. The two breakfasts were instant oatmeal and ready-to-eat cereal, which were similar in energy, but differed in macronutrient composition, processing characteristics, effects on digestion and metabolism, and glycemic score. Results with 9 to 11 year-olds replicated previous findings showing that breakfast intake enhances cognitive performance, particularly on tasks requiring processing of a complex visual display. The results extend previous findings by showing differential effects of breakfast type. Boys and girls showed enhanced spatial memory and girls showed improved short-term memory after consuming oatmeal. Results with 6 to 8 year-olds also showed effects of breakfast type. Younger children had better spatial memory and better auditory attention and girls exhibited better short-term memory after consuming oatmeal. Due to compositional differences in protein and fiber content, glycemic scores, and rate of digestion, oatmeal may provide a slower and more sustained energy source and consequently result in cognitive enhancement compared to low-fiber high glycemic ready-to-eat cereal. These results have important practical implications, suggesting the importance of what children consume for breakfast before school. |

Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, Maryland 20782, USA. This report presents national anthropometric reference data based on
health examination survey results from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES), 1999-2002, for all ages of the U.S.
population. Weighted population means, standard errors of the means, and
selected percentiles are presented for the total U.S. population by sex,
race or ethnic group, and age in years or age group. Findings for some
population groups are reported in a way that is comparable with results
reported from National Health Examination Surveys (NHES) and NHANES
conducted between 1960 and 1994. These data add to the knowledge about
trends in child growth and development and are used to monitor prevalent
conditions in the U.S. population such as overweight and obesity. |

is better. J
Am Diet Assoc. 2005 Aug;105(8):1224-30. Department of Nutrition, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center, Boston, MA, USA. ieolsen@yahoo.com OBJECTIVE: Describe the level of registered dietitian
(RD) involvement in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and associations
with NICU nutrition practices. DESIGN: Questionnaires were mailed to 820
NICUs in the United States with two follow-up mailings to nonresponders.
Abbreviated phone surveys were conducted with a random sample of 10% of
nonresponders. A nutrition care score was devised based on a sum of 10
survey questions (range 0 to 10) to summarize the intensity of reported
practices. SUBJECTS/SETTING: Directors of NICUs in the United States and
RDs associated with them. STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Chi2, analysis of
variance, Bonferroni and Duncan multiple range tests, regression. RESULTS:
Respondents from 417 (54%) of the 772 NICUs eligible for the study
provided completed questionnaires. Among NICUs responding, 76% involved
RDs in care (41% employed full- or part-time RDs, 35% employed consult RDs),
and 24% had no RD. NICUs with full- or part-time RDs provided fewer
kilocalories and more protein parenterally, and more kilocalories and
protein enterally. NICUs with less RD involvement were more likely to
provide full-term infant feedings (eg, unfortified breast milk, full-term
formula) to very-low-birth-weight infants. Mean nutrition care score
varied with RD involvement from 4.6+/-1.7 (mean+/-standard deviation) for
NICUs with a consult RD and 4.7+/-1.4 for NICUs employing no RD to
5.6+/-1.7 for NICUs with a full- or part-time RD (overall P<.001).
CONCLUSIONS: More involvement of RDs in NICUs increased the intensity of
important aspects of nutrition care that may improve outcomes of
very-low-birth-weight infants in NICUs. These findings highlight the
importance of RDs as NICU team members. |

Paquette MC. Perceptions of healthy eating: state of
knowledge and research gaps. Can J Public Health. 2005 Jul-Aug;96 Suppl
3:S15-9, S16-21. Institut national de sante publique du Quebec,
Montreal. marie_claude027@yahoo.ca To effectively promote and support healthy eating
among Canadians, there needs to be a better understanding of the factors
that influence eating behaviours. Perceptions of healthy eating can be
considered as one of the many factors influencing people's eating habits.
For this review, "perceptions of healthy eating" are defined as
the public's and health professionals' meanings, understandings, views,
attitudes and beliefs about healthy eating, eating for health, and healthy
foods. This article's aim is to review and summarize the literature on the
perceptions of healthy eating and to identify the current state of
knowledge and key knowledge gaps. Databases, the worldwide web, selected
journals and reference lists were searched for relevant papers from the
last 20 years. Reviewed articles suggest relative homogeneity in the
perceptions of healthy eating despite the studies being conducted in
different countries and involving different age groups, sexes and
socio-economic status. Perceptions of healthy eating were generally based
on food choice. Fruits and vegetables were consistently recognized as part
of healthy eating. Characteristics of food such as naturalness, and fat,
sugar and salt contents were also important in people's perceptions of
healthy eating. Concepts related to healthy eating, such as balance,
variety and moderation, were often mentioned, but they were found to be
polysemous, conveying multiple meanings. The main gap identified in this
review concerns the lack of knowledge available on perceptions of healthy
eating. More data are needed on the perceptions of healthy eating in
general, on the influence on perceptions of messages from diverse sources
such as food companies, and, most important, on the role of perceptions of
healthy eating as a determinant of food choice. |

discharge from obstetrics-pediatrics at the Hospital de Valme, with
domiciliary follow-up. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2005 Sep;193(3 Pt 1):714-26. Obstetric and Gynecology Department, Hospital de Valme,
Sevilla, Spain. ginjsb2@wanadoo.es OBJECTIVES: This study was undertaken to evaluate the
advantages and disadvantages of a program of early obstetric-pediatric
discharge (24 hours postpartum) with domiciliary follow-up, compared with
the traditional postpartum hospital stay (more than 48 hours), according
to the criteria described by reviewers of the subject. STUDY DESIGN: A
randomized controlled trial of early obstetric discharge for healthy
mothers and term infants, with postpartum randomization, with no prenatal
preparation and with observational and clinical follow-up was performed.
The participants were mothers with healthy, term neonates (37-42 weeks)
weighing more than 2500 g and produced via vaginal delivery and with a
verified normal evolution before discharge. The sample consisted of 430
cases (213 cases with early discharge, and 217 control cases) in which the
following variables were evaluated: existence of complications in the
mother and/or child that required rehospitalization or a medical
consultation, existence of maternal problems of fatigue or
anxiety/depression after the birth, continuity of lactation and its
problems, satisfaction of the mother and family, and relative costs.
CONCLUSION: After demonstrating the homogeneity of the groups, no
significant differences were found in the rates of maternal
rehospitalization (1.9% in the early discharge group vs 2.3% in the
control group, relative risk 0.81, 95% CI 0.21-3.03) or in the rates of
rehospitalization of the neonates (1.4% in the early discharge group vs
2.3% in the control group, relative risk 0.16, 95% CI 0.15-2.56). No
increases were observed in maternal or neonatal disease, puerperal
fatigue, or maternal anxiety/depression. A prolongation of maternal
lactation to 3 months was observed in the early discharge group (P=.016
<.05 Fisher exact test). When the cost of early discharge is compared
with that of traditional discharge with a minimum of 48 hours hospital
stay, we find a saving of 18% to 20%. The level of maternal satisfaction
with early discharge is better than 90%. |

Wiley AS.Does milk make
children grow? Relationships between milk consumption and height in NHANES
1999-2002. Am
J Hum Biol. 2005 Jul-Aug;17(4):425-41. Program in Anthropology, James Madison University,
Harrisonburg, Virginia 22807, USA. wileyas@jmu.edu In the United States, milk (usually cow's milk) is widely considered an "essential food" to support bone growth among post-weaning age children, as evident in government-sponsored nutrition policies that mandate milk for children. Milk contains calories, protein, and calcium, among other nutrients, and bioactive components such as insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), all of which may facilitate bone growth. There is a large literature on milk and/or calcium intake and its effects on bone density, but one aspect of bone mass--height--is not well studied in relation to milk consumption. Limited experimental studies show no consistent relationship across populations. To investigate this linkage among American children, analysis of the NHANES 1999-2002 was undertaken. NHANES data allow two hypotheses to be tested: (1) reported frequency of childhood milk consumption will be positively related to adult height and (2) height of children 5-18 years will be predicted by the reported frequency of milk consumption and/or milk intake from a 24-h dietary recall. Results indicate that adult height was positively associated with milk consumption at ages 5-12 and 13-17, after controlling for sex, education, and ethnicity. Among contemporary children, milk consumption had no effect on the height of 5-11 year olds after controlling for age, birthweight, energy intake, and ethnicity. In contrast, milk consumption frequency and milk intake (measured as grams of milk, or protein or calcium from milk) were significant predictors of the height of 12-18 year olds, along with age, sex, household income, and ethnicity. The greatest ethnic contrasts were between Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites and blacks, and milk variables remained significant predictors of height in these comparisons. Thus NHANES data show substantial variability in the effects of milk consumption on height. Copyright 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc |

Hospital for Children/Indiana University, 702 Barnhill Drive, ROC 4210,
Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA. MRCorkin@pol.net Constipation is a common complaint in childhood, and the etiology of many healthcare referrals. Despite literature documenting the high frequency of this problem, there is little research directly relating the food consumed and the eventual stool consistency. There is literature suggesting the importance of adequate fiber intake in children to maintain soft stools. Other dietary modifications actually have not been shown to be helpful or are not based on actual clinical studies. The presence of dietary allergies may also contribute to etiology of constipation. More studies to provide further linkages between diet and constipation are clearly needed. |

risk of experiencing coronary heart disease events. J Am Dent Assoc. 2005
Nov;136(11):1541-6. Department
of Diagnostic Sciences, University of Dentistry and Medicine of New
Jersey, School of Dentistry, Newark, NJ 07103, USA. glickmi@umdnj.edu BACKGROUND: A substantial proportion of people with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are not identified before they develop clinical signs and symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach that includes a cardiovascular screening by oral health care providers can affect the identification of people at risk of experiencing cardiovascular events. METHODS: The authors extracted data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the 2001-2002 NHANES for people aged 40 to 85 years with no reported specific risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) and who had not seen a physician in the previous 12 months but had seen a dentist. They used these data to estimate the 10-year Framingham-based risk calculation scores for each subject to determine their global risk of experiencing acute CHD events. RESULTS: Eighteen percent of the male subjects had an increased 10-year global risk of experiencing a CHD event (> 10 percent risk score), 14.3 percent had a moderate, above-average risk score (> 10-< 20 percent), and an additional 4.3 percent had a high risk score (> or = 20 percent). Only one female subject had a risk score greater than 10 percent. When the authors extrapolated these results to the 2000 U.S. census data, they found that among men aged 40 to 85 years without reported risk factors who had not seen a physician but had seen a dentist in the previous 12 months, 332,262 had a greater than 10 to less than 20 percent risk of experiencing a CHD event, and 72,625 had a 20 percent or greater 10-year risk of experiencing a CHD event. CONCLUSION: Dentists can play an important role in identifying people in need of primary prevention strategies for CVD. |

introduction of complementary feeding may be necessary before 6 months of
age. Br J Nutr. 2005 Dec;94(6):869-72. Review. Division
of Developmental Medicine, University of Glasgow, Yorkhill Hospitals,
Glasgow, G3 8SJ, UK. jjr2y@clinmed.gla.ac.uk The
WHO recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of life. At
present, <2 % of mothers who breast-feed in the UK do so exclusively
for 6 months. We propose the testable hypothesis that this is because many
mothers do not provide sufficient breast milk to feed a 6-month-old baby
adequately. We review recent evidence on energy requirements during
infancy, and energy transfer from mother to baby, and consider the
adequacy of exclusive breast-feeding to age 6 months for mothers and
babies in the developed world. Evidence from our recent systematic review
suggests that mean metabolisable energy intake in exclusively breast-fed
infants at 6 months is 2.2-2.4 MJ/d (525-574 kcal/d), and mean energy
requirement approximately 2.6-2.7 MJ/d (632-649 kcal/d), leading to a gap
between the energy provided by milk and energy needs by 6 months for many
babies. Our hypothesis is consistent with other evidence, and with
evolutionary considerations, and we briefly review this other evidence.
The hypothesis would be testable in a longitudinal study of infant energy
balance using stable-isotope techniques, which are both practical and
valid. |

Pediatr. 2005 Oct;42(10):998-1005. Department
of Pediatrics, KEM Hospital, Pune 411 011, India. OBJECTIVE: To study the transcutaneous absorption of traditionally massaged oil in newborns and to specifically compare the effects of (i) essential fatty acid (EFA) rich - safflower oil and (ii) saturated fat rich coconut oil, on fatty acid profiles of massaged babies. DESIGN: A short term randomised controlled study. SETTING: Tertiary care NICU of a large teaching hospital and a research laboratory of a University complex. METHODS: 120 study babies were randomly assigned to three oil groups (i) safflower oil (n = 40) (ii) coconut oil (n = 40) and (iii) no oil controls (n = 40). In each group, babies were selected in three subsets as per their gestational ages viz (a) less than 34 weeks, (b) 34-37 weeks, (c) greater than 37 weeks. 5 mL of the designated oil was massaged four times a day for five days under controlled conditions of temperature and feeding. Pre and post oil massage samples of blood were analysed for triglycerides and fatty acid profiles using gas chromatography. RESULTS: Post oil triglyceride values were significantly raised in both the oil groups and also in controls. However, the quantum of rise was significantly higher in oil groups as compared to controls. Fatty acid profiles (gas chromatography) showed significant rise in EFAs (linolenic acid and arachidonic acid) in safflower oil group and saturated fats in coconut oil group. Changes were more evident in term babies. There were no side effects associated with the massage. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that topically applied oil can be absorbed in neonates and is probably available for nutritional purposes. The fatty acid constituents of the oil can influence the changes in the fatty acid profiles of the massaged babies. |

Bengmark S. Impact of nutrition on ageing and disease. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2006 Jan;9(1):2-7. Lund University, Lund, Sweden. s.bengmark@ucl.ac.uk PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The globe is suffering a tsunami of chronic diseases, affecting especially the elderly and those with a dysfunctioning immune system. The fundamental principles of optimal health and optimal ageing are abstaining from smoking, modest alcohol consumption, regular physical exercise and a diet rich in fish and plants and low in condensed calories, sugar and dairy products. RECENT FINDINGS: Dietary supply and production of advanced glycation end products leads to the accumulation of these products in the tissues and is strongly associated with ageing of the vascular endothelium, nervous system, eyes and other vital organs. Telomeres, which are not involved in DNA repair, remain unrepaired and loose with time. A decline in innate and acquired immunity is seen with increasing age and maintenance of low basal immune activity (degree of inflammation) seems important for health and longevity: 'people who are predisposed to weak inflammatory activity may live longer'. SUMMARY: Supplementation with vitamins has little effect on ageing/prevention of chronic diseases, but antiinflammatory molecules like polyphenols are more effective, especially when combined with reduced intake of calorie-condensed foods. The effect of probiotics on ageing needs further exploration. The effects of caloric restriction, proven effective in other species to control aging and prolong lifespan, have not been fully explored in humans. |

Liver Unit, Birmingham Children's Hospital, Birmingham, UK. girish.gupte@bch.nhs.uk Successful long term parenteral nutrition has transformed the prognosis for children with irreversible intestinal failure in the last three decades, but has also highlighted the long term complications: intestinal failure associated liver disease; recurrent catheter sepsis; and impaired venous access. Recent advances in small bowel transplantation and non-transplant surgical techniques now offer hope of sustained survival in the future without parenteral nutrition.
