Breastfeeding Initiation Associated With Reduced Incidence of Diabetes in Mothers and Offspring
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine associations between breastfeeding initiation and subsequent diabetes among First Nations (indigenous people in Canada who are not Métis or Inuit) and non-First Nations mothers and their offspring with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: This retrospective database study included 334,553 deliveries (1987-2011) in Manitoba with up to 24 years of follow-up for diabetes using population-based databases. Information of breastfeeding initiation before hospital discharge was obtained from hospital abstracts recorded by nurses in postpartum wards. Cox proportional hazard models were applied to examine the association between breastfeeding initiation and risk of diabetes in mothers and their offspring. RESULTS: Breastfeeding initiation was recorded in 83% of non-First Nations mothers and 56% of First Nations mothers (P<.001). Breastfeeding initiation was associated with a reduced risk of incident (later developed) diabetes in non-First Nations mothers without GDM (hazard ratio [HR] 0.73 [or -27% of risk], 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68-0.79), non-First Nations mothers with GDM (HR 0.78 or -22% of risk, CI 0.69-0.89), First Nations mothers without GDM (HR 0.89 or -11% of risk, CI 0.81-0.98), and First Nations mothers with GDM (HR 0.82 or -18% of risk, CI 0.73-0.92) with 24 years of follow-up or less. With 24 years of follow-up or less, breastfeeding initiation was associated with a 17% lower risk of youth-onset type 2 diabetes in offspring (HR 0.83, CI 0.69-0.99, P=.038). The association between breastfeeding initiation and subsequent diabetes in mothers and offspring was independent of family income, rural residence, First Nations status, GDM, parity, gestational hypertension, and age of the mother. CONCLUSION: Breastfeeding initiation is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes among women and their offspring in Manitoba. The results suggest that breastfeeding might be a potentially modifiable factor to reduce the risk of diabetes in both First Nations and non-First Nations women and children.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
