We hypothesized (a) that differences in breastfeeding practices may explain sociodemographic disparities in children’s overweight and obesity, and (b) that breastfeeding practices may also explain sociodemographic disparities in children’s diet quality. Data from N = 7180 children aged 2 to 6 years from NHANES (2005–2018) were classified based on weight status (normal weight, overweight, obesity, severe obesity), breastfeeding, and in terms of healthy eating (using the Healthy Eating Index). We used multinomial logistic and linear regressions to determine pathways between sociodemographic variables, breastfeeding, and weight status, as well as between sociodemographic and breastfeeding variables and healthy eating scores. Sociodemographic factors were significantly associated with childhood weight status, breastfeeding history, and healthy eating. Weight status increased with child male gender, Mexican American and Other Hispanic ethnicity, lower education, lower income, and single marital status; breastfeeding decreased with child age, Non-Hispanic Black ethnicity, lower education, and single marital status, but increased with Mexican American ethnicity and higher income. A mediation analysis showed indirect pathways from sociodemographic variables to weight status via breastfeeding duration. Similar patterns emerged for healthy eating. The results indicate that breastfeeding is associated with modestly lower odds of severe obesity and improved diet scores in early childhood, even after accounting for socioeconomic and demographic differences. Breastfeeding appears to be a meaningful early-life factor with a significant impact on weight and healthy dietary outcomes."}],"keyword":["Breastfeeding","Obesity","Healthy eating","Weight disorders","Social diversity"],"status":"public","department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"year":"2026","user_id":"83781","title":"Can breastfeeding practices explain sociodemographic disparities in childhood obesity and healthy eating?

This systematic review with meta‐analysis aimed to (1) estimate this prognostic effect of FA diagnosis and symptom count in individuals with overweight or obesity and (2) explore potential sources of heterogeneity based on properties of the weight loss intervention, study, and sample (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity). We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science for studies reporting on associations between pre‐intervention FA (assessed with the Yale Food Addiction Scale) and weight outcomes after weight loss intervention in individuals with overweight or obesity without a medically diagnosed eating disorder. Twenty‐five studies met inclusion criteria, including 4904 individuals (71% women, <jats:italic>M</jats:italic><jats:sub>age</jats:sub> = 41 years, BMI = 40.82 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>), <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> = 18 correlations of weight loss with FA symptom count, and <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> = 21 mean differences between FA diagnosis groups.

In addition, men with OB + BED showed higher weight loss than men with OB after 7 weeks of treatment.Conclusions: The present findings add to an emerging yet overall still sparse body of studies comparing phenotypical features and treatment outcomes in men and women with OB and OB + BED; implications for further research are discussed.Clinical Trial Registration: The study was prospectively registered with the German Clinical Trial Register as part of application DRKS00028441."}],"department":[{"_id":"DEP1500"}],"year":"2023","user_id":"83781","status":"public","issue":"3","quality_controlled":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000936206700001"],"pmid":["36802088"]},"date_updated":"2026-03-27T14:33:18Z","doi":"10.1002/erv.2972","type":"scientific_journal_article","publisher":"Wiley"}]
