INTRODUCTION: The pattern and duration of @entity17744 ( @entity17744 ) and the age at onset of complementary feeding, as well as its quality, have been associated with the prevalence of overweight in childhood. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of a pro- @entity17744 and healthy complementary feeding intervention, targeted to adolescent mothers and maternal grandmothers, on growth and prevalence of overweight and @entity28 in @entity1 at preschool age. This intervention had a positive impact on duration of @entity17744 and timing of onset of complementary feeding. METHODS: This randomized clinical trial involved 323 adolescent mothers, their @entity1 , and the @entity1 ' maternal grandmothers, when they cohabited. Mothers and grandmothers in the intervention group received counseling sessions on @entity17744 and healthy complementary feeding at the maternity ward and at home (7, 15, 30, 60, and 120 days after delivery). When @entity1 were aged 4 to 7 years, they underwent anthropometric assessment and collection of data on dietary habits. Multivariable Poisson regression with robust estimation was used for analysis. RESULTS: BMI-for-age and height-for-age were similar in the intervention and control groups, as was the prevalence of overweight (39% vs. 31% respectively; p=0.318). There were no significant between-group differences in dietary habits. CONCLUSION: Although the intervention prolonged the duration of exclusive @entity17744 and delayed the onset of complementary feeding, it had no impact on growth or prevalence of overweight at age 4 to 7 years. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00910377.
