Diverse weaning foods and diet patterns at multiple time points during infancy period and their association with neurodevelopmental outcomes in 6-year-old children

J. H. Kim, E. K. Ha, et al.

This study by Ju Hee Kim and colleagues uncovers the intriguing relationship between dietary patterns during infancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes in 6-year-old children. Analyzing data from over 133,000 children, the research highlights how deviations from a control diet can lead to significant developmental challenges. Discover why a varied diet may be key to optimal childhood growth!

Abstract
This study investigated the association between dietary patterns at multiple timelines and neurodevelopmental outcomes in 6-year-old children. Using data from the national health insurance database and health screening program, four distinct dietary clusters were identified among 133,243 children. Children in clusters deviating from a control cluster (breast milk feeding and diverse diet) showed significantly higher odds of unfavorable neurodevelopment at age 6, as assessed by the Korean Developmental Screening Test (K-DST). These findings suggest that diverse weaning foods and consistent dietary patterns during infancy and early childhood are associated with improved neurodevelopmental outcomes.
