Breastfeeding is strongly endorsed in the Healthy People 2020 goals; however, there remain many disparities in breastfeeding prevalence. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between breastfeeding and the Federal Poverty Level in the United States. Data from 5,397 women in the National Survey of Family Growth 2011-2013 survey were included in this study. The data were analyzed for descriptive features and logistic regressions of the Federal Poverty Level on breastfeeding. There were 64.1% of women who reported breastfeeding. Over one-third (35.2%) of women reported having a household income of 0-99% of the Federal Poverty Level. There were 15.2% of women who reported an income of 400% and above the Federal Poverty Level. With statistical adjustment for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, parity, preterm birth, birth weight, insurance, and dwelling, the Federal Poverty Level was not significantly associated with breastfeeding. In this recent survey of mothers, Federal Poverty Level was not shown to be a significant factor in breastfeeding.
《健康人民2020》目标大力倡导母乳喂养；然而，母乳喂养普及率仍存在诸多差异。本研究旨在探讨美国母乳喂养与联邦贫困水平之间的关联。本研究纳入了2011 - 2013年全国家庭成长调查中5397名女性的数据。对这些数据进行了描述性特征分析以及联邦贫困水平对母乳喂养的逻辑回归分析。有64.1%的女性报告进行了母乳喂养。超过三分之一（35.2%）的女性报告家庭收入为联邦贫困水平的0 - 99%。有15.2%的女性报告收入为联邦贫困水平的400%及以上。在对产妇年龄、种族/民族、教育程度、婚姻状况、产次、早产、出生体重、保险和居住情况进行统计调整后，联邦贫困水平与母乳喂养无显著关联。在这项近期对母亲的调查中，联邦贫困水平未被证明是母乳喂养的一个重要因素。
