The role of early life growth development, the FTO gene and exclusive breastfeeding on child BMI trajectories.

International journal of epidemiology - 1 Oct 2017

Wu Yan Yan, Lye Stephen, Briollais Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Background: Recent studies have implicated the FTO gene in child and adult obesity. A longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EXBF) has been shown to reduce body mass index (BMI) and the risk of being overweight in the general population and among FTO gene carriers. However, it remains unclear whether the preventive effect of EXBF could be explained by its impact on early life growth development, e.g. ages at...
