Durasi menyusu dan kejadian overweight pada remaja
Abstract: Statistic showed an
increasing number of overweight incidences among children in Aceh Province.
However, relationship between breastfeeding and risk of overweight and obesity
is still controversial due to strong confounding factors. Hence, the
relationship between breastfeeding and obesity is unclear. To reduce the
confounding factors, siblings analysis can be undertaken as children live in
the same environment.
Objective: To investigate the influence of siblings overweight status on
breastfeeding duration and overweight incidence among adolescents and to
explore other environmental and genetic factors related to overweight incidence
in adolescents.
Method: This was an observational-analytical study with a matched case
control design. There were 50 subjects for each group. Subjects in the case
group were taken from existing cases, while the control group was selected by
purposive sampling by matching in age and gender. Paired t test, McNemar test
and conditional logistic regression were performed to analyse the data.
Results: Overweight adolescents have shorter breastfeeding duration than
non-overweight adolescents. Multiple conditional logistic regression tests on
overweight status in siblings showed that breastfeeding duration could reduce
overweight incidence among adolescents (OR=0.81; 95%CI:0.69-0.96).
Conclusion: Overweight adolescents have shorter duration of breastfeeding
than those who were not overweight. Factors that affect the risk of overweight
among adolescents in this study were mother’s education, adolescent’s eating
behavior, mother’s overweight status and sibling’s overweight status.
