Aim: Development of body mass index (BMI) trajectories is essential for understanding childhood overweight, a public health concern. This study aimed to identify BMI trajectories from birth to adolescence and examine associated factors in the Pollution and Asthma Risk: an Infant Study (PARIS) birth cohort.
Methods: Data on height, weight, birth parameters, lifestyle, parental weight status and stress were collected via questionnaires and health check-ups.

Background: In Sri Lanka, there is some evidence that the likelihood of breastfeeding initiation varies by exposure to Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative [BFHI]-compliant care and mode of birth. Globally, there is some evidence that exposure to mother-baby skin-to-skin contact (BFHI Step 4) is lower in caesarean section births. Therefore, we aimed to determine how breastfeeding initiation varies by mode of birth in Sri Lanka, and the extent to which women's exposure to BFHI practices explains any associations found.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA), the most abundantly produced antibody at mucosal surfaces, is thought to play key roles in immune responses to respiratory and enteric pathogens and in the regulation of commensal colonization. Low IgA levels have been associated with recurrent infections and immune dysregulation, including inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmunity. Levels of IgA in maternal breast milk and infant stool are both inversely associated with the emergence of immune responses to food antigens in infants and, in naturally resolving food sensitivity and immunotherapy protocols, the induction of IgA antibodies to dietary antigens has been associated with the acquisition of food tolerance.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern; however, its association with congenital anomalies (CAs) remains understudied. This study investigated the relationship between CAs and PPD risk and identified persistent patterns of PPD among mothers of infants with and without CAs.
Methods: We analysed data from 86,464 mother-child pairs in the Japan Environment and Children's Study.

This study employed proteomics and phosphoproteomics to compare protein expression and phosphorylation modifications in the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) of human and bovine mature milk. A total of 410 proteins and 73 phosphorylation sites on 49 proteins were identified in the MFGM of bovine and human mature milk, respectively. Differential analysis revealed 40 differentially expressed proteins and 8 differentially phosphorylated sites, followed by bioinformatics analysis.
