Study population: The DNBC was established during the years 1996 to 2003. A total of 100,418 pregnancies among a total of 92,274 women were enrolled into the cohort from all over Denmark. The women were invited at their first antenatal visit at the general practitioner. It is estimated that approximately 30% of all pregnant women in Denmark participated in the DNBC and the response rate is estimated to be 60%.The women were interviewed by telephone twice during their pregnancy, in approximately gestational week 16 (interview 1) and 31 (interview 2), and twice after their pregnancy when the child was approximately 6 (interview 3) and 18 months old (interview 4). During the computer assisted telephone interviews, the women gave detailed information on their physical and mental health, life style, nutrition and medicine use, and in the post-partum interviews the women gave information on growth, health and nutrition of the children.

Who may be able to join

  • The women were invited at their first antenatal visit at the general practitioner.Women were included if they intended to carry the pregnancy to term, had a permanent address in Denmark, and spoke Danish well enough to participate in telephone interviews.

Who cannot join

  • Women who were not pregnant.

About this study

Official title: Breastfeeding and Complementary Feeding in Relation to BMI and Overweight at Ages 7 and 11 Years - a Path Analysis Within the Danish National Birth Cohort

This study examines the associations between different types of infant feeding and BMI and overweight in childhood. The study is based on the Danish National Birth Cohort, established in 1996.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to examine whether duration of breastfeeding, timing of introduction of complementary food and protein intake at 18 months are associated with BMI and overweight at ages 7 and 11 years, independent of BMI during infancy.

Children participating in the Danish National Birth Cohort were followed-up at ages 7 and 11years. Information on infant feeding, protein intake at 18 months, Ponderal Index at birth, child BMI (5 months, 12 months, 7 and 11 years) and several parental factors was available.

Path analysis was used to assess the direct and indirect effects of infant feeding on BMI z-scores at ages 7 (n= 36,481) and 11y (n=22,047). Logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations with overweight.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Danish National Birth CohortOther

    DNBC is a nationwide cohort study of pregnant women and their offspring. The women were enrolled early during pregnancy between 1996 and 2002. They provided information on exposures during and after pregnancy by means of four computer-assisted telephone interviews in gestational weeks 12 and 30 and post-partum when the child was 6 and 18 months old.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Child overweight

    The parent reported the height and weight of the children at approximately 7 and 11 years of age.

    Measured: 2003-2014

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Child overweight (time frame: 2003-2014). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03334760, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
