HIV status, breastfeeding modality at 5 months and postpartum maternal weight changes over 24 months in rural South Africa
Get PDFObjective:
To determine the effect of infant feeding practices on postpartum weight change among HIV-infected and -uninfected women in South Africa.<p></p>
Methods:
In a non-randomised intervention cohort study of antiretroviral therapy-naïve women in South Africa, infants were classified as exclusive (EBF), mixed (MF) or non-breastfed (NBF) at each visit. We analysed infant feeding cumulatively from birth to 5 months using 24-hour feeding history (collected weekly for each of the preceding 7 days). Using generalised estimating equation mixed models, allowing for repeated measures, we compared postpartum weight change (kg) from the first maternal postpartum weight within the first 6 weeks (baseline weight) to each subsequent visit through 24 months among 2340 HIV-infected and -uninfected women with live births and at least two postpartum weight measurements.<p></p>
Results:
HIV-infected (−0.2 kg CI: −1.7 to 1.3 kg; P = 0.81) and -uninfected women (−0.5 kg; 95% CI: −2.1 to 1.2 kg; P = 0.58) had marginal non-significant weight loss from baseline to 24 months postpartum. Adjusting for HIV status, socio-demographic, pregnancy-related and infant factors, 5-month feeding modality was not significantly associated with postpartum weight change: weight change by 24 months postpartum, compared to the change in the reference EBF group, was 0.03 kg in NBF (95% CI: −2.5 to +2.5 kg; P = 0.90) and 0.1 kg in MF (95% CI: −3.0 to +3.2 kg; P = 0.78).<p></p>
Conclusion:
HIV-infected and -uninfected women experienced similar weight loss over 24 months. Weight change postpartum was not associated with 5-month breastfeeding modality among HIV-infected and -uninfected women

Phys. 98, 4301 (1993).Author Institution: Laser Spectroscopy Facility, The Ohio State UniversityIn some complexes (Rg = Ar and Kr), the natural lifetime of the state has remarkably lengthened compared with uncomplexed SH ( ns for the level). We have the natural lifetime of v, to levels of to be 600, 543, 405, 158 and 49 ns where the absolute value of the vibrational quantum number v. has not yet been determined. In , the natural lifetimes of different vibrational levels of the state do not vary dramatically. All the measurements indicate the natural lifetime of the state is about 600 ns. However, the natural lifetime of all observed bands are shorter than our instrumental limit (20ns). The details of the analysis and its physical interpretation will be discussed
