ERAhmed: Diastolic Blood Pressure and Lipid Profile in Infants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The influence of early environmental factors, including nutrition, on future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and, in a broader view, the concept of early metabolic programming and future health have been extensively discussed during the past decades. Observational studies have suggested that formula-fed infants as compared with breastfed infants have an elevated risk of future CVD.

Detailed Description
The influence of early environmental factors, including nutrition, on future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and, in a broader view, the concept of early metabolic programming and future health have been extensively discussed during the past decades. Observational studies have suggested that formula-fed infants as compared with breastfed infants have an elevated risk of future CVD, since they have faster early growth rate and higher risk of overweight, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and unfavorable blood lipid profile in adult age. Formula-fed preterm infants have higher serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration, higher serum low-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein (LDL:HDL) ratio, and higher serum apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 (apoB:apoA1) ratio in adolescence as compared with preterm infants receiving banked breast milk.
