A study was carried out from a sample of 300 infants born at "Mariana Grajales" Obstetric and Gynecological Teaching hospital, Santa Clara, from December, 1992 to February, 1993. Some factors which influence upon breast feeding were studied. A survey including personal identity data and others was applied. Factors aforementioned were analyzed and it was found that breast feeding was maintained during the first 4 months of life in 58.0% of infants. In addition, acute diarrheal and acute respiratory diseases were found to be more frequent in those infants breast fed during a shorter period of time. A significant relationship between maternal occupation and lactation was also confirmed. No relationship was observed between nutritional status and lactation, although the greatest percentage is found in infants with normal body weight with 38.0% of breast-fed infants and 25.3% of non-breast fed infants.
1992年12月至1993年2月期间，对圣克拉拉市“玛丽安娜·格拉哈莱斯”妇产科教学医院出生的300名婴儿进行了一项研究。研究了一些影响母乳喂养的因素。采用了一项包括个人身份数据等内容的调查。对上述因素进行了分析，发现58.0%的婴儿在出生后的前4个月坚持母乳喂养。此外，发现母乳喂养时间较短的婴儿急性腹泻和急性呼吸道疾病更为常见。还证实了母亲职业与哺乳之间存在显著关系。虽然体重正常的婴儿中母乳喂养的比例最高，母乳喂养婴儿为38.0%，非母乳喂养婴儿为25.3%，但未观察到营养状况与哺乳之间的关系。
