Health-disease processes are established and programmed in the first 1500 days of life, a period in which nutrition and the microbiota play a fundamental role. Feeding practices vary, according to regional sociocultural characteristics. The Early Nutrition Group of the Latin American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (LASPGHAN) established the goal of identifying the main feeding practices in the first 1500 days that were recommended by health professionals in Latin America.
A survey was conducted on the aspects of maternal-infant and young child nutrition during the first 1500 days of life. An open invitation was extended to Latin American healthcare professionals to anonymously answer the online survey.
A total of 1284 surveys from participants in 18 Latin American countries were analyzed. The mean age of the participants was 37.14 ± 11.1 years, 75.7% were women, 64.7% were physicians, and the rest were nutritionists/nutriologists. A total of 71.4% were familiar with the concept of the first 1000 days of life, 95% answered that exclusive breastfeeding should be carried out up to 6 months of age, and 34.3% responded that complementary feeding should be begun between 4 and 6 months of age. There was scant knowledge regarding nutrition in the pregnant woman. Adherence to traditional complementary feeding practices was evident.
In a group of Latin American healthcare professionals, knowledge about nutrition in the first 1000-1500 days of life of an individual is still incomplete and insufficient, showing the need for continued training of healthcare professionals, with respect to those themes.
健康-疾病过程是在生命的头 1500 天中建立和编程的，在此期间，营养和微生物群起着至关重要的作用。喂养方式因地区社会文化特征而异。拉丁美洲儿科学会胃肠病学、肝病学和营养学分会（LASPGHAN）的早期营养小组设定了确定在头 1500 天中推荐给拉丁美洲卫生专业人员的主要喂养方式的目标。
对生命头 1500 天内母婴和幼儿营养的各个方面进行了调查。向拉丁美洲医疗保健专业人员发出公开邀请，要求他们匿名回答在线调查。
对来自 18 个拉丁美洲国家的 1284 名参与者的调查进行了分析。参与者的平均年龄为 37.14±11.1 岁，75.7%为女性，64.7%为医生，其余为营养师/营养学家。共有 71.4%的人熟悉头 1000 天的概念，95%的人回答说应进行纯母乳喂养至 6 个月龄，34.3%的人回答说应在 4 至 6 个月龄时开始补充喂养。关于孕妇营养的知识很少。传统的补充喂养实践仍然存在。
在一组拉丁美洲医疗保健专业人员中，个人头 1000-1500 天生命期营养的知识仍然不完整和不足，这表明需要继续对医疗保健专业人员进行培训，重点关注这些主题。
