P45 - Early exclusive breastfeeding protects from preschool wheeze
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Thus far, exhaustive research has been conducted on a potential link of breastfeeding (BF) to wheezing illnesses. Nevertheless, conflicting evidence often emerges with several investigators reporting BF to protect from asthma, whereas others fail to show such a link; reports of an asthma-favoring role of BF can also be found. We therefore opted to explore the relation of different infantile feeding patterns with wheeze/asthma prevalence, in a cross-sectional, population-based study in preschool children.
