为了解非氟地区婴幼儿早期喂养与氟斑牙的关系，对1367名儿童进行了氟斑牙检查，并发放了水样瓶和问卷。752个家庭回复(55%)。69%的受访者报告母乳喂养，其中53.6%的人母乳喂养6个月，35.3%的人母乳喂养6-12个月，11.1%的人母乳喂养1年。84%的受访者报告配方奶喂养，其中60.3%的人配方奶喂养1年，39.7%的人配方奶喂养1年。氟中毒患病率为23.3%，母乳喂养6个月、6-12个月和12个月的儿童氟中毒患病率分别为27.2%、19.6%和13.8%(P<；0.05)。约87%的配方奶粉喂养的儿童在奶瓶中添加了自来水。母乳喂养6个月可能会保护儿童免于患上永久性门牙氟中毒。这项研究建议牙科专业人员应该支持提高母乳喂养率和母乳喂养持续时间的努力。
To determine the relationship between early infant feeding and dental fluorosis in a non-fluoridated area, 1367 children were examined for fluorosis and given a water sample vial and questionnaire. 752 families responded (55%). Breastfeeding was reported by 69% of respondents, with 53.6% breastfed < 6 months, 35.3% 6-12 months, and 11.1% > 1 year. Formula feeding was reported by 84% of respondents, with 60.3% and 39.7% formula fed for < 1 year and > 1 year, respectively. Fluorosis prevalence was 23.3% and was present in 27.2%, 19.6% and 13.8% of children breastfed for < 6 months, 6-12 months, and > 12 months, respectively (P < .05). About 87% of formula fed children had tap water added to the bottle. Breastfeeding for > 6 months may protect children from developing fluorosis in the permanent incisors. This study suggests that dental professionals should support efforts to increase the rate and duration of breastfeeding.
