Associations of body composition with regional brain volumes and white matter microstructure in very preterm infants

Katherine Ann Bell et al.

Summary: This study found that lean mass was associated with larger brain volume and differences in white matter microstructure among very preterm infants at term equivalent age, suggesting that lean mass growth may index brain growth and development.

Summary: Preterm newborn infants have lower birth weight and lower fat mass, but higher body fat mass at corrected age. Postnatal growth is influenced by various factors, and body composition analysis can predict metabolic and cardiovascular risks and identify high-risk patients.

Individualized target fortification of breast milk with protein, carbohydrates, and fat for preterm infants: A double-blind randomized controlled trial

Niels Rochow et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impacts of target fortification on preterm growth and metabolism by adjusting breast milk macronutrients. It found that target fortification can enhance nutrient intake, weight gain, and overall weight of preterm infants, especially those from mothers with low breast milk protein content.

Individualized Target Fortification of Breast Milk: Optimizing Macronutrient Content Using Different Fortifiers and Approaches

Stephanie Fusch et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the macronutrient composition of different commercially available fortifiers and the effect of different fortification strategies on nutritional intake of preterm infants. Standard fortification, breast milk batching, and partial lyophilization of human milk resulted in deficient and imbalanced enteral intakes in a significant proportion of infants. Target fortification reduced this variation in a higher percentage of samples.

Human milk bank and personalized nutrition in the NICU: a narrative review

Manuel Sanchez Luna et al.

Summary: The number of preterm infants is increasing globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries, posing challenges for neonatologists and milk banks to provide adequate nutrition for infant growth. While the benefits of mother's own milk are well recognized, the use of donor milk is common in NICUs. Utilizing donated milk that matches the composition of mother's milk can help protect premature infants from certain risks associated with prematurity.

Customized Human Milk Fortification Based on Measured Human Milk Composition to Improve the Quality of Growth in Very Preterm Infants: A Mixed-Cohort Study Protocol

Manuela Cardoso et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate whether target human milk fortification method used in contemporary cohort improves the energy and macronutrient intakes and the quality of growth of very preterm infants compared to standard human milk fortification method used in historical cohorts. The assessment includes different fortification techniques, composition measurements, and growth quality evaluations for the two cohorts.

Association between Fat-Free Mass and Brain Size in Extremely Preterm Infants

Christoph Binder et al.

Summary: The study found an association between body composition and brain size in preterm infants, where higher fat-free mass (FFM) Z-Score was positively correlated with larger brain size, while higher fat mass (FM) Z-Score was negatively correlated with brain size. This suggests that early body composition may play a crucial role in evaluating and optimizing brain growth and neurodevelopment.
