Abstract

Objective To analyze the association between breastfeeding duration and the risk of overweight and obesity among preschool children,and to provide guidelines for the prevention of children's overweight and obesity. Methods A total of 3 586 preschool children aged 3~6 years who were vaccinated in the Baoji Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from August 2015 to December 2016 were included in this study.The data of breastfeeding were obtained by questionnaires.Height and weight were measured.Logistic analysis was performed to evaluate Odds ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence interval (CI) of the risk of overweight and obesity. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the participants were 12.5% and 9.8%,respectively.Breastfeeding duration was negatively associated with the risk of overweight and obesity among preschool children.The risk of overweight and obesity in preschool children who were breastfed not less than 12 months was 0.58 times that of preschool children without breastfeeding. Conclusion Longer duration of breastfeeding may be a protective factor for preventing overweight and obesity in preschool children,indicating that long-term breastfeeding should be promoted.
