Modern Aspects Of Early Infant Nutrition

Abstract

The assessment of early infant nutrition and its influence on the anthropometric indicators (mass, body height) and the development of nutritional-related diseases in catamnesis was performed. Alimentary diaries of 61 children (from 6 to 36 months) were analyzed. Children by age were divided into three groups. Low energy value of the diet was determined in the three groups (1138,3±249,6 kcal) and a violation of the ratio of macro- and micronutrients was found. Prior to the correction of nutrition, 77,8% of the children had a number of background nutrition-related diseases. Nutrition correction was conducted in macro-and micronutrient. After diet correction in 11.2% of children was observed negative dynamics in the anthropometric parameters, anthropometric indices of 44.4% of children were normalized. After correction of the nutrition the number of children with alimentary-dependent diseases decreased (from 77,8% to 27,8%). It was determined that children of early age had insufficient basic macro- and micronurtients in the diet. After the correction of day nutrition 44.4% of the children had investigated positive dynamics of anthropometric indices and reduction of nutrition-related diseases.
