Early nutrition and signs of metabolic syndrome at 6 y of age in children born very preterm.

Conclusions: Children fed a preterm formula postdischarge more often showed early rapid growth than did breastfed children, and early rapid growth was correlated with early signs of MetS at 6 y of age. However, all of the values were within normal ranges. This trial was registered at as NCT02078687. PMID: 29722837 [PubMed - in process]
