Factors Influencing Body Composition of Premature Infants at Term‐Adjusted Age
Abstract
We investigated the influence of body size at birth, feeding of mother's milk versus formula, or standard-term formula versus energy- or nutrient-enriched formula on the growth and whole body bone mineral content (BMC), lean and fat mass (using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) of low-birth-weight (LBW) infants to term-adjusted age. LBW infants who were appropriate for gestational age were lighter and shorter than term-born infants (n = 46) but …
