Background: Nutritional factors during a sensitive period can influence child development in
a sex-related manner. Objective: Our aim was to investigate whether sex modulates the …

Background: High protein intake in early life is associated with an increased risk of
childhood obesity. Dietary protein intake may be a key mechanistic modulator through …

Background: Protein intake in early infancy has been suggested to be an important risk
factor for later obesity, but information on potential mechanisms is very limited. Objective …

Background: High protein intake in infancy might lead to a higher body mass index (BMI) in
childhood. However, whether these associations differ between different sources of protein …

Background During the complementary feeding period, infants shift from a daily protein
intake (PI) of≈ 1 g/kg body wt to an intake 3-4 times as high. A high PI probably has both …

Recent studies confirm the associations between high-protein intake during the first 2 years
and later obesity. Furthermore, knowledge of the mechanisms involved and the role of …

There is growing evidence of long-term effects of early dietary intervention in infancy on later
obesity risk. Many studies showed reduced risk of obesity with breastfeeding in infancy …

Background: A high protein intake during infancy and early childhood has been proposed to
increase the risk of subsequent obesity. Objective: We analyzed the association of different …

Background: Previous studies suggest that high protein intake in infancy leads to a higher
body mass index (BMI) in later childhood. We examined the associations of total, animal and …

Background: A high early protein intake has been proposed to increase obesity risk.
Objective: We examined whether a critical period of protein intake for later obesity may exist …
