The Weight Gain of Premature InfantsPediatrics InternationalHatsumi Niki M.D
Relevance Based on a secondary analysis of data from a large clinical trial of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis, there was no evidence that prolonged exposure to this antibiotic has a concurrent effect on weight gain or the prevalence of overweight or obesity in healthy infants and young ...
In the center of the chart, the mean weight gain (attained by 25 percent of the women) averaged a pound per week each week over the last half of the pregnancy--for a gain of 20 pounds in the last twenty weeks. This, incidentally, is 2 pounds more than many obstetricians have held o...
Infant weight gain was the fastest in 3 months, about 750 ~ 900g per month. In the first six months, the average monthly gain is about 600g. The average monthly gain of 7 to 12 months is 500 g, and at 1 year old weight is about 3 times that of birth weight. Healthy baby ...
A study of, .500 primiparae with normal deliveries and normal living infants, from 3 months of pregnancy to term, is analysed. There was a correlation co-efficient of 0.28 between weight gain and weight of infant and.of 0.53 between weight gain and infant weight expressed as percentages of ...
Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with short- and long-term health problems among mothers and their offspring. There is a strong need for effective intervention strategies targeting excessive GWG to prevent adverse outcomes. We perfor
An increase from the prior year of 1 serving per day of milk was associated with a BMI gain of 0.023 (P = .08) in boys and 0.023 (P = .05) in girls (adjusted for prior milk intake but not energy). A 150-kcal/d increase in total energy from the prior year predicted a BMI ...
This study assesses predictors of excessive weight gain (EWG) (1–12&1–18) months among diverse low- income (LI) infants. Infants participating in MA/WIC (2001–2009). with growth measures (1,12,18 mos.) were included. Predictors examined: race/Hispanic ethnicity, maternal education and ...
Background: Feeding of own mother's milk to preterm very low-birthweight infants often results in suboptimal weight gain in these infants for whom energy requirements are high but in whom volume tolerance is limited. Therefore the purpose of the present paper was to investigate the effect of se...
However, a falling off of the growth curve between four and six months followed by inadequate weight gain until completion of weaning (24 months) is seen in 26.52% of infants, as a result of an inadequate food intake, indicating a need for maternal education about solid foods that are ...
