A new study shows that infants don't get the excess weight until they are 7 years old after they received antibiotics within the first six months after birth.
For diseased children, antibiotics are most widely used prescription drugs, but few people understand the impact of long-term antibiotics to health risks. Meanwhile, researchers said animal studies have shown that babies born during the intake of antibiotics can increase the fat content of the body later.
In this study, the researchers studied the relevant data from Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania involving nearly 40,000 children. About 14% of the children were within six months after birth and had intake of antibiotics. Studies have shown that the average age of children receiving antibiotics was only four months.
The researchers also studied the health of 92 pairs of twins. In twins, a child took antibiotics within six months after birth, and the other children not getting the drug. The researchers found that seven years later, the weight of the twin children showed no significant difference.
In this study, the researchers measure the reference weight; body weight is an important sign response and can measure the health of a person. Too thin or overweight is not conducive to health. Standard weight corresponding to the height of an individual's optimum weight value; healthy weight is different from the standard weight and is a range of values. Population within the healthy weight range has lower risk of illness. The articles related to the study were published in the March 22th edition of journal American Medical Association.
"But for the health of children, they still can't intake of antibiotics for no reason at all," said Dr. Jeffrey Gerber, author of the study and came from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
