Abstract:

This study investigated the impact of early postnatal macronutrient intakes on growth and body composition of 133 preterm infants within the first 6 months. The authors concluded macronutrient intakes during the first month of life have impacts on growth and body composition before 6 months of age. Higher daily protein intake is associated with a better growth and healthier body composition for VPT/VLBW infants.
