A nutritional survey in the Tihama region of Yemen allowed an analysis of the relationship between infant feeding practices and the growth of children 3-23 months of age. The survey was conducted in 1979 on a representative sample of 364 preschool children 3-23 months of age. After adjustment for demographic and socioeconomic factors, breast feeding was found to be associated with higher weight-for-length and weight-for-age. The strongest beneficial effect of breast feeding on weight-for-length was seen at 3-6 months, a weaker effect at 7-12 months, and essentially no effect over 12 months of age. A higher weight-for-age was seen in breast-fed infants 3-6 months of age only. Introducing other foods was associated with higher weight-for-length only in children 13-23 months of age. Neither breast feeding nor introducing other foods was associated with length-for-age. Infant feeding practices appear to be associated with weight gain, but not linear growth in Yemeni infants.
也门蒂哈马地区的一项营养调查对婴儿喂养方式与3至23个月大儿童生长发育之间的关系进行了分析。该调查于1979年对364名3至23个月大的学龄前儿童代表性样本进行。在对人口统计学和社会经济因素进行调整后，发现母乳喂养与较高的身长体重比和年龄别体重相关。母乳喂养对身长体重比的最强有益影响出现在3至6个月，7至12个月时影响较弱，12个月以上基本无影响。仅在3至6个月大的母乳喂养婴儿中观察到较高的年龄别体重。引入其他食物仅与13至23个月大儿童的身长体重比升高有关。母乳喂养和引入其他食物均与年龄别身长无关。在也门婴儿中，婴儿喂养方式似乎与体重增加有关，但与线性生长无关。
