Early breast-feeding cessation and infant mortality in low-income countries - Workshop summaryBork SimondonKirstenauteurautIRDtextbookSectiontext/pdfborn digitalaccessThe importance of breast-feeding for infant and child health and survival in less developed countries has been the subject of a number of studies over the last 25 years.1_9 However, the epidemic of AIDS in low-income countries, together with the discovery of an important risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1 through breast-milk,10 has prompted renewed interest in this subject. Indeed, in order to weigh the mortality risks associated with different infant feeding practices against the risk of mother-to-child transmission of the virus, it is essential to have precise estimates of relative risk of death of non-breastfed infants within narrow age intervals.specialized054 Breast-feeding : early influences on later healthGoldbergG.auteurautPrenticeA.auteurautPrenticeA.auteurautFilteauS.auteurautSimondonKirstenauteurautIRDauteuraut639319329<placeTerm type="text"/>2009Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology639http://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:01004828710.1007/978-1-4020-8749-3_23IRD BondyF B010048287http://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048287http://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/compl2/010048287.pdfAccès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD)IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes2009-11-252010-08-09fdi:010048287fre
