Abstract:

Abstract Breastfeeding (BF) can play a role in programming the risk of noncommunicable diseases, including obesity, throughout life. Due to its composition of nutrients and bioactive factors (particularly the fat composition with high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids), breast milk promotes the normal development of newborns. Numerous studies have demonstrated that BF is associated with a reduced risk of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. The postulated mechanisms of the effect of BF on the risk of obesity include appetite regulation differences between breastfed and bottle-fed infants; the negative impact of early protein intake and growth acceleration during bottle feeding; the role of leptin; as well as the relationship between the composition of the gut microflora and the risk of obesity. The paper presents data from prospective and retrospective cohort studies over the past 15 years, as well as metaanalyses that demonstrate the role of BF in the prevention of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
