An infant and child feeding index is associated with child nutritional status in rural China.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Some researchers have developed child feeding indices to summarize child feeding practices so that they can compare child feeding practices across countries and monitor changes over time within a given country. AIMS:An adapted version of the infant and child feeding index (ICFI) developed by Ruel and Menon was used to examine its association with nutritional status of infants living in a rural community in China. METHODS:A cross-sectional survey of 501 children aged 6-11 mo was conducted with their mothers in 8 townships between May 2006 and March 2007. ICFI was developed based on 24-h dietary recall and food frequency information. The associations between ICFI and anthropometric indices including length-for-age (LAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), and weight-for-length (WLZ) Z-scores were examined separately. General linear regression models were used to adjust for potential confounders including the children's, parents' and households' sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS:The ICFI was associated with both WAZ (adjusted WAZ means: 0.39, 0.47, and 0.54 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tercile, respectively, P<0.05) and WLZ (adjusted WLZ means: 0.47, 0.74, and 0.79 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tercile, respectively, P<0.05). But it was not associated with children's LAZ. Among the components of ICFI, dietary diversity, meal frequency and bottlefeeding were positively associated with the children's anthropometric indices. CONCLUSIONS:ICFI and its components could be used to assess effect of complementary feeding practices on child growth.

  • Digit ratio (2D:4D) in newborns: influences of prenatal testosterone and maternal environment.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:The 2D:4D digit ratio is sexually-dimorphic, probably due to testosterone action through the perinatal period. We characterize the 2D:4D ratio in newborn (NB) infants, in between the pre- and postnatal surges of testosterone, and relate it to the mother's 2D:4D and to testosterone levels in the amniotic fl...
