Abstract

A retrospective case‐control study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the early introduction of cow's milk and the subsequent risk of developing Type 1 diabetes (< 15 years at diagnosis). A total of 268 children who developed diabetes during the period 1980–1990 (11 years inclusive) in Leicestershire were identified. Age‐, sex‐, and race‐matched controls were identified using the Leicestershire population register. Parents of children with diabetes and their controls completed a structured questionnaire on infant feeding habits from birth. A total of 184 questionnaires (67%) were analysed. There was no difference between the diabetic and control children with respect to the introduction of cow's milk at an early age and the risk of developing diabetes (odds ratio: 0.98 (0.65–1.47)). In addition, short duration of breast‐feeding (< 3 months) had no influence on the incidence of diabetes (1.05 (0.64–1.75)). This study does not support the hypothesis that the early introduction of cow's milk or a short duration of breast‐feeding increases the risk of developing Type 1 diabetes.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Evidence on whether early introduction of cow's milk or protective effects of breast milk contribute to childhood type 1 diabetes is equivocal and may depend on genetic susceptibility.

    “Evidence regarding early introduction of cow’s milk (or protective effects of breast milk consumption) in infants contributing to the development of childhood T1D is equivocal73–76 and may depend on genetic susceptibility77.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
