OBJECTIVES
Evaluate whether breastfeeding (BF) duration predicts later psychosocial development (PD) in a large low socioeconomic status (SES) sample in the Philippines.
METHODS
The sample consists of 2,752 children aged 5-6 years who were measured in 2004 as part of the Philippine government's Early Childhood Development Project. Duration of any BF was the primary independent variable in regression models predicting a cumulative index of PD that has been shown previously to predict school readiness.
RESULTS
In this sample, mothers who breastfed their children for longer tended to have lower educational attainment and to come from lower income households. Despite this, BF duration was a positive predictor of future PD measured in late childhood, but only after adjustment for SES and related confounders.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings add to growing evidence that BF could provide lasting economic and social benefits and underscore the importance of continuing current public health efforts to promote BF in the Philippines and across the globe.
目的
在菲律宾一个大的社会经济地位（SES）较低的样本中，评估母乳喂养（BF）持续时间是否能预测后期的心理社会发展（PD）。
方法
该样本由 2752 名 5-6 岁的儿童组成，他们于 2004 年作为菲律宾政府儿童早期发展项目的一部分进行了测量。任何 BF 的持续时间是回归模型中预测 PD 累积指数的主要自变量，该指数先前已被证明可预测入学准备情况。
结果
在这个样本中，母乳喂养孩子时间较长的母亲往往受教育程度较低，来自收入较低的家庭。尽管如此，BF 持续时间仍是未来 PD 的积极预测指标，这是在调整 SES 及相关混杂因素后得出的。
结论
这些发现增加了越来越多的证据表明 BF 可以提供持久的经济和社会效益，并强调了继续在菲律宾和全球范围内开展促进 BF 的公共卫生工作的重要性。
