近年来，母乳喂养与儿童肥胖之间的关系一直是人们感兴趣的焦点。自2000年以来，已经发表了16项关于这一问题的研究--一些发现了保护作用，另一些则没有。从这些数据中得出的关于母乳喂养对儿童肥胖症的潜在保护作用的结论存在分歧。虽然一篇关于杜威的叙事性评论提出了母乳喂养的影响，但英国医学杂志的一篇社论引用了最近两项没有这种影响的研究，并引用了非确凿的证据。2最近的一项荟萃分析表明，母乳喂养有一种虽小但显著的保护作用。3本文的目的是讨论Meta分析方法的优点和局限性，并总结我们的Meta分析结果。
In recent years the relationship between breast-feeding and childhood obesity has been a focus of interest. Since 2000 16 studies regarding this issue have been published-some have found a protective effect, while others have not.The conclusions drawn from these data regarding the potential protective effect of breast-feeding on childhood obesity diverge. While a narrative review of Dewey suggests an effect of breast-feeding1, an editorial in the British Medical Journal cites two recent studies without such an effect and cites inconclusive evidence. 2 A recent meta-analysis suggested a small but significant protective effect of breast-feeding. 3 The objective of this paper is to discuss the strengths and limitations of the meta-analysis approach and to summarise the results of our meta-analysis.
