Obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are public health concerns in adolescents, yet few studies have examined the association of their diet to CVD risk factors. This study investigated associations between diet, body mass index (BMI), waist ... |
| Early human milk feeding is associated with a lower risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants. |
2007 |
2162 |
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a frequent cause of mortality and morbidity in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Human milk (HM) feeding has been associated with lower risk of NEC. However, mothers of VLBW infants often experience ... |
| The effect of an exercise intervention during early lactation on bone mineral density during the first year postpartum |
2019 |
1465 |
Background: During lactation, women may lose up to 10% of bone mineral density (BMD) at trabecular-rich sites. Previous studies show that resistance exercise may slow BMD; however, the long-term effects of exercise on BMD during lactation have not be... |
| Effect of Exercise Training on Loss of Bone Mineral Density during Lactation |
2009 |
1842 |
Purpose: During lactation, women transfer approximately 200 mg of calcium per day to breast milk. For 6 months, this is equivalent to 3%–9% of bone mineral density (BMD) loss at trabecular-rich sites. Bone mass usually returns to prepregnancy levels ... |

Purpose: To examine the effect of yogurt supplementation pre- and postexercise on changes in body composition in overweight women engaged in a resistance-training program.Methods: Participants (age = 36.8 ± 4.8 yr) with a body-mass index of 29.1±2.1 ... |
| Effects of Energy Restriction and Exercise on Bone Mineral Density during Lactation |
2012 |
1720 |
Modest energy restriction combined with resistance training (RT) has been shown in nonlactating women to protect bone during periods of weight loss. However, there is a paucity of research on dietary interventions and exercise in lactating women aime... |
| Maternal and infant characteristics associated with human milk feeding in very low birth weight infants. |
2009 |
1583 |
This study identified maternal and infant characteristics predicting human milk (HM) feeding in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants whose mothers (n = 184) participated in a study of lactation counseling and initiated milk expression. Data were coll... |
