What a baby eats, or how the baby eats, may have an impact on future weight and health, research has shown. A new study backs that up.
What a baby eats, or how the baby eats, may have an impact on future weight and health, research has shown.The researchers also found that kids who were not given soda before 18 months of age also had less fat at age 9.based on body mass index — an estimate of body fat based on height and weight. This one relied on what researchers considered a more precise measure: percent fat mass. That's the proportion of total weight owing to body fat.
At age 5, the proportion of body weight that could be attributed to fat was nearly 20%, on average. At age 9, it was 18%.duration and early soda introduction were associated with faster increases in body fat between those two checkpoints and with higher percentage of body fat at age 9. “However, thus far, there are fewer studies to compare this finding to and supports the need for more research focused on the quality of complementary foods introduced during infancy and toddlerhood, as this could also be an important predictor of later risk of obesity,” Cohen noted.
