...Laura E. Lach; Katherine E. Chetta; Mathew J. Gregoski; Lakshmi D. Katikaneni Introduction: Body composition, specifically fat-free mass (FFM), of preterm infants is associated with improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. Little is known about body composition of preterm infants after discharge...

Franz Objective: This study aimed to evaluate body composition at the time of hospital discharge in very preterm infants following rapid transition...

...Anna Chmielewska; Aijaz Farooqi; Magnus Domellöf; Inger Ohlund Background: At term-equivalent age, infants born prematurely are shorter, lighter and have more adipose tissue compared to term counterparts. Little is known on whether the differences in body composition persist in later age. Methods...

..., observational study in an appropriate for gestational age cohort of 71 patients (20 preterm and 51 full-term) from infancy through preschool age. Anthropometric and body composition measurements via air displacement plethysmography were obtained during infancy at term and 3–4 months (preterm corrected ages...

...Christoph Binder; Nicholas Longford; Chris Gale; Neena Modi; Sabita Uthaya Background: The optimal nutritional regimen for preterm infants, including those that develop necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), is unknown. Objective: The objective here was to evaluate body composition at term in infants...

... protocol: to compare body composition in very preterm infants at term-corrected age (TCA) with that in term infants, and to explore relationships between neonatal characteristics and body composition in preterm infants. Methods: Anthropometry, nutritional characteristics, and neonatal outcomes were...

.... Objectives: The aim was to compare body composition (total body fat mass (FM), subcutaneous and intra-abdominal adipose tissue (AT)) between infants born preterm and at term. Methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study that involved 50 infants born preterm free from major co-morbidities...

...Fanny B. Morel; Annemarie Oosting; Hugues Piloquet; Raish Oozeer; Dominique Darmaun; Catherine Michel Background: It is suggested that antibiotherapy in infancy might program adult body composition and thus could be a determinant of obesity risk. Although not convincingly substantiated by existing...

... high. Objective: We used non-invasive anthropometric methods to estimate the body composition and the thickness of the interventricular heart septum in 18 infants of mothers with well-controlled T1DM, 10 infants of mothers with GDM and 28 infants of healthy control mothers matched for gestational age...

...Kathryn Silliman; Norman Kretchmer Obese women generally deliver heavier infants, but the body composition of these infants is unknown. The principal objective of this study was to determine if neonates of obese women have more adipose tissue. At 35–36 weeks of gestation, a fasting blood sample...

...Nancy F. Butte; William W. Wong; Marta Fiorotto; E. O’Brian Smith; Cutberto Garza To determine the effect of infant feeding mode on body composition, a cross-sectional study was designed in which 10 breast-fed and 10 formula-fed infants were studied at 1 month of age, and another 10 breast-fed...

...J.A. Chromiak; D.R. Mulvaney; D.R. Strength The effect of subcutaneous injection of the β-agonist cimaterol on growth and body composition of neonatal rats differing in growth potential was examined. Rats that represented substrain populations of Charles River CD rats selected for either large...
