By David Douglas
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Feb 07 - Breast-fed children are significantly more likely to do well in measures of foveal stereoacuity than are those who received formula, according to UK researchers.
"Our study," lead investigator Dr. Atul Singhal told Reuters Health, "adds to the growing evidence that breast-feeding has long-term benefits for visual development."
In the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Singhal of the Institute of Child Health, London, and colleagues note that a higher concentration of docosahexaneoic acid (DHA) in breast milk than in formula has been proposed as one explanation for this effect and as a rationale for adding DHA to infant formula.
To further investigate, the team studied 78 previously breast-fed and 184 previously formula-fed children ages 4 to 6 years who were followed prospectively from birth. In the first 6 months of life, the formula-fed group was randomly assigned to formula with or without supplementation with DHA or arachidonic acid.
Based on random dot E test results, breast-fed children were significantly (p = 0.001) more likely to have greater foveal stereoacuity than did children in either formula-fed group (odds ratio, 2.5). There were no significant differences between children who did or did not receive formula containing DHA.
The researchers conclude that "these findings support the hypothesis that breast-feeding benefits long-term stereoscopic development."
Dr. Singhal added that "we don't know the mechanisms involved, but this benefit does not seem to be explained by the presence of certain omega 3 fatty acids -- DHA -- in human milk."

母乳喂养有助于婴儿的视力发育

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Feb 07 - Breast-fed children are significantly more likely to do well in measures of foveal stereoacuity than are those who received formula, according to UK researchers.
纽约（路透社健康）2月7日－据英国的研究人员称，母乳喂养的小孩的中心凹立体视力明显比配方奶喂养的儿童发育地更好。
"Our study," lead investigator Dr. Atul Singhal told Reuters Health, "adds to the growing evidence that breast-feeding has long-term benefits for visual development."
此研究的主要研究者Dr. Atul Singhal告诉路透社健康的记者：“我们的研究和越来越多的证据证实母乳喂养对婴儿视力发育有长期的好处。”
In the January issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Singhal of the Institute of Child Health, London, and colleagues note that a higher concentration of docosahexaneoic acid (DHA) in breast milk than in formula has been proposed as one explanation for this effect and as a rationale for adding DHA to infant formula.
在2月份的美国临床营养学杂志上，伦敦儿童健康研究所的Dr. Singhal和他的同事说，母乳中比配方奶中有更高浓度的二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)的理论被提出作为这种效果的一种解释，也作为在婴儿配方奶中添加DHA的理论依据。
To further investigate, the team studied 78 previously breast-fed and 184 previously formula-fed children ages 4 to 6 years who were followed prospectively from birth. In the first 6 months of life, the formula-fed group was randomly assigned to formula with or without supplementation with DHA or arachidonic acid.
为了进一步研究，研究人员研究了年龄为4至6岁的曾用母乳喂养的78个儿童和曾用配方奶喂养的184个儿童，从他们出生开始随访。在出生后的6个月内，在配方奶喂养组的配方奶中随机添加和不添加DHA或花生四烯酸。
Based on random dot E test results, breast-fed children were significantly (p = 0.001) more likely to have greater foveal stereoacuity than did children in either formula-fed group (odds ratio, 2.5). There were no significant differences between children who did or did not receive formula containing DHA.
基于随机检测结果可以看出，母乳喂养组的中心凹立体视力显著(p = 0.001)好于任一组配方奶喂养组（优势比为2.5）。在添加或没有添加DHA的配方奶组间没有显著性差异。
The researchers conclude that "these findings support the hypothesis that breast-feeding benefits long-term stereoscopic development."
研究者总结说：“这些发现支持母乳喂养有利于长期的立体视力发育的假说。”
Dr. Singhal added that "we don't know the mechanisms involved, but this benefit does not seem to be explained by the presence of certain omega 3 fatty acids -- DHA -- in human milk."
