Vandyousefi S, et al. - A sum of 229 Hispanic children of age 8- 13 years with a family history of diabetes and obesity were evaluated to examine the association of breastfeeding (BF) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with the prevalence of prediabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS). They classified the candidates as never (negative for prediabetes/MetS at all AVs), ever (positive for prediabetes/MetS at any visit), intermittent (positive for prediabetes/MetS at 1-2 AVs), and persistent (positive for prediabetes/MetS at greater than or equal to 3 AVs). They recorded lower odds of persistent prediabetes and MetS among GDM offspring who were BF as compared to GDM children who were not BF. Overall, they concluded BF protective against prediabetes and MetS in offspring negligent of GDM status.
