IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.
AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.
EnglishBACKGROUND AND AIMS: The double-blind randomized European Childhood Obesity Project (CHOP) demonstrated that reduced protein content in infant formula leads to a lower body mass index (BMI) up to six years of age. Here we aimed at assessing pre-peritoneal fat, a marker of visceral fat, in children participating in the CHOP trial. METHODS AND RESULTS: Healthy term formula-fed infants in five European countries were randomized either to higher (n = 550) or lower (n = 540) protein formulas in the first year of life. Infants who were exclusively breastfed for at least three months (n = 588) were enrolled as an observational (non randomized) group. At age 5 years, subcutaneous fat (SC) and pre-peritoneal fat (PP) were measured by ultrasound in a subgroup of 275 children. The PP fat layer was thicker in the higher compared to the lower protein group (adjusted estimated difference: 0.058 cm, 95%CI 0.002; 0.115; p = 0.043), while SC fat was not different. Girls showed a thicker SC fat layer than boys. CONCLUSIONS: Higher protein intake in formula-fed infants appears to enhance pre-peritoneal fat tissue accumulation at the age of 5 years, but not of subcutaneous fat, which may trigger adverse metabolic and health consequences.
