Early diet of preterm infants and bone mineralization at age five years.

摘要: Bone disease with significantly reduced bone mineralization is common in preterm infants, and associated later linear growth stunting at 18 months of age. Dietary insufficiency calcium phosphorus thought to be the principal aetiological factor. We studied 54 children mean age 5 years who were born had participated a prospective multicentre study effects early diet on development. Diets compared banked donor breast milk formula fed as supplement mother's own milk. Increasing human intake was strongly positively mineral content. Children predominantly greater content than similar size term. These data suggest that nutritional environment infant could play an important role determining skeletal mineralization.
