In a study of feeding and growth in the first year of life in two Oxfordshire market towns, the frequency of overweight babies was the same for the 'intervention' town (where a research health visitor gave intensive advice to mothers on feeding) as for the control town. Eighteen per cent of bottle-fed infants and three per cent of those breast fed were overweight at one year. It seems that an increase in the number of health visitors does not affect the frequency of overweight infants, but it may be that a greater emphasis on breast feeding might reduce the frequency.
在牛津郡两个集镇进行的一项关于婴儿出生第一年喂养和成长情况的研究中,“干预”镇(研究健康访视员向母亲提供关于喂养的强化建议)超重婴儿的比例与对照镇相同。一岁时,18%的人工喂养婴儿和3%的母乳喂养婴儿超重。看来健康访视员数量的增加并不会影响超重婴儿的比例,但加大对母乳喂养的重视程度或许可能降低这一比例。
