Abstract in brief

  • This review examines the timing of complementary food introduction for infants, focusing on how starting solids at 4 months versus 6 months affects their iron levels and growth, with findings from studies in both developing and developed countries.
  • The meta-analysis indicates that infants introduced to solids at 4 months have significantly higher hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels compared to those introduced at 6 months, suggesting better iron status.
  • However, the studies had limitations such as short follow-up periods and small sample sizes, so more research is needed to confirm these results and understand long-term health impacts.]

完全母乳の赤ちゃんにおける離乳食の開始時期のシステマティックレビューとメタ解析： 生後６ヶ月と比較して、４ヶ月に離乳食を開始したグループのほうが、血中ヘモグロビンは高い傾向であった。 一方で、成長の指標などにはほとんど差がなかった。 https://t.co/0DZe0ZTt6u
