Study information
Scientific title
Influence of early feeding in subsequent cardiovascular risks in infants born small for gestational age: a randomised controlled trial
Acronym
PSO
Study hypothesis
1. Breastfed small for gestational age (SGA) babies will gain more lean mass and less fat mass over the first 4 months of life
2. SGA babies will have more vsiceral fat at age 24 months as compared to babies born appropriate for gestational age (AGA)
3. SGA babies fed enriched formula will be more insulin resistant, have higher levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and altered levels of adipokines, as compared to breastfed SGA babies and SGA babies fed with regular formula
Ethics approval
Committee of Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, Esplugues have given approval on the 15th May 2008

Condition
Small for gestational age (SGA), adipokines, cardiovascular risk factors
Intervention
Newborns born SGA who will not be breastfed will be randomised to receive a regular or an enriched formula for 4 months. Assessments at birth, 15 days, 4, 12 and 24 months (sampling, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [DXA] and ultrasound).
Regular formula: Fat: 28.9 g%; carhohydrates: 55.0 g%; proteins: 11.7 g%
Enriched formula: Fat: 24.7 g%; carbohydrates: 54.9 g%; proteins: 14.5 g%
Feeding is ad libitum and following the recommendations of the primary care paediatricians. This is usually every 3 hours the first month, and every 4 hours thereafter. No additional food is allowed until after month 4.
