Breastfeeding duration is associated with higher adiposity at 6-8 months of age.

Breastfeeding (BF) has been identified as a protective factor against childhood obesity. However, evidence of the association between BF duration and adiposity remains inconclusive. Few studies have been conducted among Southeast Asian infants that have measured body composition during infancy using the gold standard stable isotope method.

Effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention and the role of sleep in people living with HIV and prediabetes: a pilot and feasibility study.

Objectives: Prediabetes is prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH). Insufficient and irregular sleep are linked to abnormal glucose metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the differences in sleep characteristics between PLWH with and without prediabetes, determine the acceptability/feasibility and effects of a pilot six-month intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) program on glucose metabolism in those with prediabetes, and determine how sleep modulates these effects.

Human Milk Intake of Thai Breastfed Infants During the First 6 Months Using the Dose-to-Mother Deuterium Dilution Method.

Background: Data on infant human milk intakes in low- and middle-income countries are limited, although the deuterium oxide dose-to-mother method (DTM) is an accurate tool for its estimation.

Objective: We assessed human milk intakes of Thai infants during the first 6 months comparing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), predominant breastfeeding (PBF), and partial breastfeeding (PartBF).

Methods: One hundred and ten healthy Thai lactating mother-infant pairs were followed from birth.
