Feeding in Infancy and Later Ability and Attainment: a Longitudinal Study

Rodgers, Bryan·1978·Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology

Abstract

SUMMARY: Attainment tests completed by members of the National Survey of Health and Development (1946 birth cohort) showed that those who had been entirely bottle‐fed in infancy scored significantly lower than those who had been entirely breast‐fed. After taking differences in family background into account, the bottle‐fed group scored between 1 and 2 points less than the breast‐fed group on scales with a population standard deviation of 10.0 points. RÉSUMÉ: Alimentation dans la première enfance, acquisitions et aptitudes ultérieures: étude longitudinale Des tests d'acquisition passés par les inscrits de la National Survey of Health and Development (groupe né en 1946) a montré que ceux qui avaient été entièrement nourris au biberon durant la première enfance avaient des résultats significativement plus bas que ceux entièrement nourris au sein. Une fois prises en compte les différences d'environnement familial, le groupe nourri au biberon atteignait sur les échelles entre un et deux points de moins que le groupe nourri au sein, avec un écart‐type dans la population de dix points. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Ernährungsweise im Säuglingsalter und spätere Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse: eine Langzeitstudie Von Mitgliedern der Nationalen Behörde für Gesundheit und Entwicklung wurden Leistungstests durchgeführt (Geburtsjahrgang 1946), die zeigten, dass die Kinder, die als Säuglinge ausschliesslich Flaschennahrung bekommen hatten, signifikant niedrigere Scores hatten als die, die nur gestillt worden waren. Unter Berücksichtigung von Unterschieden im familiären Hintergrund hatte die Gruppe der Flaschenkinder einen Score, der zwischen 1 und 2 Punkten niedriger lag als der von den gestillten Kindern mit einer Populations‐standardabweichung von 10.0 Punkten.

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.
