ABSTRACT

Objective: To validate a new strategy to identify food groups that are associated with height.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, analytical and exploratory study. Length for Age and Sex [L/A/S] and 24-hour feeding data were collected from 185 healthy children 4.0 to 12.7 months of age. The proportion that each of 7 food groups contributed to total consumption were used as independent variables versus L/A/S as the dependent variable in multiple regression models. Three age groups (1 = 4-6/ 2 = 7-9/ 3 = 10-12) were evaluated.
Results: One age group (7-9 months) showed association with Meat, indicating that L/A/S increased with increased proportion of Meat. The age group of 10-12 months showed a negative coefficient with Breastfeeding indicating that L/A/S decreased with increased proportions of Breastfeeding.
Conclusions: Our method was able to identify feeding patterns associated to growth in small groups of 47 and 77 children. We believe our approach should be expanded to other ages to gain better understanding on the relationships between feeding patterns and growth in the first years of life.
