Diese Ergebnisse geben keinen Hinweis, dass die von der WHO empfohlene Einführung von Beikost nach dem sechsten Lebensmonat im Vergleich zur Einführung von Beikost nach dem vierten Lebensmonat einen präventiven Effekt auf das Auftreten von Ekzem hat. Dieses Ergebnis bestätigt die Aussagen zur Beikosteinführung der LISA-Studie.
Background: The association between the introduction of solid foods in the first twelve months and the occurrence of eczema during the first four years of life was assessed in a prospective study of newborns. Methods: Data were taken from annually administered questionnaires from a large birth cohort (recruited 1995-1998) comprised of an intervention and a nonintervention group. Outcomes were physician-diagnosed and symptomatic eczema. Multiple generalized estimation equations (GEE) models were performed for the two study groups. Results: From the 5,991 infants recruited, 4,753 (79%) were followed up. The two study groups were different in their family risk of allergies and feeding practices. No association was found between the time of introduction of solids or the diversity of solids and the occurrence of eczema. Conclusion: The evidence from this study supports neither a delayed introduction of solids beyond the fourth month nor a delayed introduction of the potentially most allergenic solids beyond the sixth month of life for the prevention of eczema.
