Preterm formula, human donor milk, and breast milk fortification for preterm infants

Evidence is lacking to inform on optimal very preterm diet and growth in relation to functional outcomes. Early adiposity is a potential biomarker of later metabolic disease, but its modification by early nutrition is unknown. The aims of the thesis were to (i) investigate relationships between early diet, macronutrient intake, growth, body composition, and insulin sensitivity, and (ii) evaluate the feasibility of a larger randomised controlled trial powered to detect differences in functional health outcomes.
