Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis found that children who were breastfed have a significantly lower risk of developing obesity, with a pooled adjusted odds ratio of 0.78, indicating a protective effect.
  • The study analyzed data from 25 research studies involving over 226,000 children from 12 countries, covering publications from 1997 to 2014.
  • The results also showed a dose-response relationship, meaning longer durations of breastfeeding were associated with an even lower risk of childhood obesity.]
