Özet
Bone mineralization of healthy preterm infants fed human milk were compared with that of similar fed preterm formula. Bone mineralization was studied by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in 43 preterm infants divided into two groups; 21 preterm infants were fed with maternal breast milk and 22 preterm infants with a preterm formula containing 70 mg calcium and 35 mg phosphorus per decilitre. Conclusion Preterm infants fed breast milk had lower bone mineral density than the preterm formula-fed group. Fortifying preterm human milk with calcium and phosphorus will improve bone mineralization in preterm infants.
