We sought to determine whether increased duration of breast-feeding was associated with decreased risk of overweight among 4-year-old children in Kansas families with limited means. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We linked data on Kansas families from the Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System and Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System, 1998 to 2002, to determine breastfeeding duration and weight status at age 4 years. Overweight among 4-year-old children was defined as body mass index\u2013for-age at the 95th percentile and above. Linked analysis included 3692 children. Logistic regression was applied to determine odds of being overweight at each duration of breastfeeding. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. Breastfeeding duration considered independently showed a significant protective association with childhood overweight at age 4 years for all non-Hispanics (odds ratio [OR]=0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.55, 0.94) and for Whites only (OR=0.68; CI=0.50, 0.92). When we controlled for other significant risk factors for childhood overweight, the association diminished and was not statistically significant. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Although breastfeeding for longer duration appeared to be protective against overweight among 4-year-old non-Hispanic children, cultural and environmental factors may override this protective benefit. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2006.101683","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,30]],"date-time":"2007-11-30T02:14:24Z","timestamp":1196388864000},"page":"106-110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Breastfeeding Duration and Childhood Overweight Among Low-Income Children in Kansas, 1998\u20132002"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Sandra B.","family":"Procter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sandra B.
