For those aged 3\u20135\u00b79 and 6\u201311\u00b79 months, the corresponding percentages were 41\u00b76 %, 45\u00b76 % and 51\u00b70 %, and 67\u00b70 %, 73\u00b74 % and 67\u00b77 %. Respiratory disease was the most common reported illness and cause of hospitalization. The risks of having (total) illness, diarrhoea and respiratory disease increased significantly with age, but not allergic disease. Compared with EBF, MBF and EFF infants had significantly higher risks of having illnesses except for allergic disease, and feeding patterns were not related to hospitalization. Low birth weight, middle family income and low level of mother\u2019s education also increased the risk of illness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1368980015002633_abs6\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A protective effect of EBF against total illness in urban Chinese infants was found.
