The effect of soybean formula and formula 100 supplementation on the growth of preschool children
Keywords:
soybean formula, formula 100, growth, preschool children
Abstract
Background Preschool children are vulnerable in growth. Soy-bean formula (SF) and formula-100 (F100) are supplementary foods
which contain of high energy and are available at low price; how-
ever, they are not widely used for preschool children.
Objectives To investigate the effect of SF compared to F100 on
the growth of preschool children.
Methods A cross-over trial was conducted on 96 preschool chil-
dren aged 4-7 years. Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups
which received 200 ml soybean formula (n=49) or F100 (n=47) for
1 month and crossed-over after a six-week wash-out period. Body
weight was measured weekly. Body height and food analysis by 3-
day food recall were measured at the beginning and the end of the
study. The criteria of the acceptability of the formula was either
good or poor.
Results Supplementation with SF as well as F100 induced catch
up growth as shown by the increase of Δz-score. There were no
significant difference of Δ weight for age z-score, Δ height for age
z-score, and Δ weight for height z score between groups during
the first and second phases of the trial. The acceptability of F100
was significantly better than that of SF at the beginning; neverthe-
less, the difference was not significant at the second phase trial.
Conclusions Soybean formula and F100 given for a one month
period can induce catch-up growth in preschool children. Soybean
formula as an alternative health food can be accepted by preschool
children
