To determine the efficacy a culturally tailored home intervention for reducing intake risk Latino mothers infants. Mother-infant dyads (N = 210) were randomly assigned 1 3 2 years: 1) general health education...
Growing evidence indicates that human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are important bioactive compounds enhance health and developmental outcomes in breastfed babies. Maternal dietary intake likely contributes to variation HMO composition, but studies identifying diet–HMO relationships few inconsistent. This study aimed investigate how the maternal of macronutrients micronutrients—specifically proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals—associated with HMOs at 1 month (n = 210), 6 months 131), 12...

Our primary aim was evaluate associations between dietary carbohydrates/sugars and stiffness in Latino adolescents with obesity. secondary examine effect modification by (a) PNPLA3 or (b) severity. Data were obtained from 114 obesity involved two prior studies. No seen group as a whole. In subjects PNPLA3, total...
