Feeding a mLP formula during early life did not have beneficial effects on body composition in a subset of infants studied at age 6 year.
Study context
- Population
- Healthy term-born infants106 measured at 6y
- Participants
- 90 / 88 / 67
- Comparison
- Modified low-protein infant formula (mLP) vs control infant formula (CTRL) up to 6 months; breastfed reference
- mLPn = 90
- CTRLn = 88reference
- Breastfed (BF)n = 67
- Primary endpoint
- Growth and body composition (anthropometry; air-displacement plethysmography)
- Follow-up
- 6 years
