A longer duration of breast-feeding and later introduction to solids may protect against excessive adiposity in infancy. This study investigated infant feeding practices and their relationship to two measures of adiposity--body mass index (BMI) and sum of skinfold thicknesses (SUMSF)--in 331 4-y-old Anglo- (43%) and Mexican-American (57%) children. No associations were detected between any of the infant feeding variables of duration of breast-feeding and introduction to solids and formula and measures of the child's adiposity. Mother's physical measures of BMI and SUMSF explained the largest portion of variance for both measures of childhood adiposity, BMI (9.5%), and SUMSF (8.3%). Genetic and environmental factors other than infant feeding practices appear to have a greater influence on a 4-y-olds' adiposity.
