Cord blood insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations are lower in preeclamptic (PE) than normotensive (NT) pregnancies. PE offspring have increased risk of cardiovascular disease and decreased risk of some cancers including breast. We examined the effects of PE exposure in utero, infant feeding and childhood diet at 3-5 years on IGF-1 and breast development in 194 female offspring who were followed from birth until follow-ups at 10.

- The study investigates the link between infant feeding practices and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
- Longer formula feeding and a later introduction of solid foods were found to independently increase the risk of ALL in children.
- The findings suggest that early life energy balance may play a role in developing this type of leukemia, highlighting the need for further research on infant feeding practices.
