Article Synopsis
- Neonatal nutritional supplements are used to improve growth in premature or small-for-gestational-age infants, but their long-term effects on cognitive and metabolic health are unclear.
- Analysis of various trials showed that while these supplements did not significantly impact cognitive impairment or metabolic risk after 3 years, they reduced motor impairment in toddlers and had better outcomes for girls.
- Additionally, while supplementation lowered triglyceride levels, it didn't change other metabolic factors, suggesting potential benefits in early motor skills without major risks to cognitive or long-term metabolic health.
Article Synopsis
- Neonatal nutritional supplements can boost early growth in infants who are small for their gestational age, but their impact on long-term growth remains uncertain.
- A review of various studies found that while these supplements improved infant length and bone mineral content, they did not significantly affect childhood BMI.
- Additionally, the benefits in height growth appeared to be present in male toddlers but were not observed in females, indicating that results may vary by sex.
