Artificially-fed 6-week-old infants in the Sheffield region are heavier than would be predicted from their birth weights and show a greatly increased incidence of excessive weight gain. These findings are associated with caloric intakes that exceed the classic 50 calories/lb/day (110 calories/kg/day) with a universal tendency to early feeding with cereals and mixed infant foods.The possible harmful implications of the trend to infantile overnutrition are discussed.
谢菲尔德地区人工喂养的6周大婴儿比根据其出生体重预测的体重更重,且体重过度增加的发生率大幅上升。这些发现与热量摄入超过经典的50卡路里/磅/天(110卡路里/千克/天)有关,普遍存在过早喂食谷物和混合婴儿食品的倾向。本文讨论了婴儿营养过剩趋势可能产生的有害影响。
