Abstract

Purpose : We compared body growth, blood cell counts, and chemistry among infants receiving soy-based formula (SF), breast milk (BM), and casein-based formula (CF). Methods : Full-term neonates delivered at our hospital from June 2001 to August 2003 were recruited and divided into 3 feeding groups (BM=20, SF=19, CF=12 ) according to the parents wishes. Breast feeding or artificial formulae were given during the initial 3 months of age; thereafter, weaning foods were added freely. Height, weight, head circumference, skin-fold thickness, and mid-arm circumference were measured at birth and 1, 2, 4, 5, 12, and 36 months of age. Cell counts and blood chemistry were analyzed at 5, 12, and 36 months of age. Result : At 5 months of age, body weight was the lowest in the SF group; the height was similar among all groups. Thereafter, there were no differences in height or weight among the groups until 36 months of age. Hemoglobin was the lowest in the BM group at 5 and 12 months of age (P< 0.05 ). At 5 months of age, serum cholesterol, BUN, phosphates, and K+ were significantly lower in the SF group; thereafter, all chemical parameters were similar until 36 months of age. Conclusion : Infants fed with SF showed normal growth during the first 3 years of life as compared to infants fed with BM and CF. Low values of serum phosphates and K+ at 5 months of age in the SF group, despite the high mineral content, suggest that further investigation is needed for effective mineral absorption.

목 적 : 액상 대두기반 영아식이 개발되어 시판되고 있으나 이에 대한 영양학적 연구는 미흡한 상태이다. 액상 대두영아식을 섭취하는 경우 영유아의 성장 및 발달을 모유 및 우유기반 영유아식을 먹이는 경우와 비교하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 6월부터 203년 8월까지 충북대학교병원에서 만기 정상분만으로 출생한 신생아를 대상으로 모유군(n=20)과 대두 영유아식(n=19) 및 우유 영유아식군(n=12)으로 나누어, 생후 첫 3개월간은 모유 및 인공 영유아식을 각 군에 해당하는 식이를 먹이고 생후 4개월부터는 이유식을 자유롭게 하도록 했다. 신체계측으로는 출생 시, 1, 2, 4, 5, 12개월, 그리고 36개월에 신장, 체중, 두위, 삼두박근 피부두께, 그리고 상완둘레를 측정하였다. 일반혈액 및 혈청의 화학검사는 생후 5, 12 그리고 36개월에 시행하였다. 결 과 : 생후 5개월까지는 대두 영유아식군의 체중이 가장 낮았으나 신장은 차이가 없었고, 이후 체중과 신장은 36개월까지 모든 영유아식군 간에 차이가 없었다. 혈중 헤모글로빈은 5개월과 12개월에 모유군이 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 혈청화학 검사에서는 대두 영유아식군에서 생후 5개월에 BUN은 가장 높았고, cholesterol, 인, 포타슘은 가장 낮았으나, 그 이후는 모든 화학검사 수치의 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 대두기반 영유아식을 준 경우에 생후 3년간 우유 영유아식군이나 모유군에 비하여 신체의 성장에는 차이가 없었다. 대두기반 영유아식이 우유기반 영유아식이나 모유에 비하여 무기질 함량이 높은데도 불구하고 생후 5개월에 혈청 인 및 포타슘이 낮아 무기물의 흡수율을 높이는 방법을 개발해야 할 것으로 보인다.
