Question: Is macronutrient intake, particularly that from human milk, distinctly associated with the growth of preterm infants?
Finding: Total protein and fat intake derived from human milk and fortifiers showed distinct positive associations with weight gain velocity.
Meaning: Particular attention to protein and fat composition during individualized human milk fortification can optimize weight gain in preterm infants. |
