Table 2 Time points between which there was a significant difference in nutrient intake between food allergic milk-free and matched control infants and nature of the difference observed
From: Nutritional adequacy of a cows’ milk exclusion diet in infancy
Nutrient | Age between specific time points (weeks) | p value | Nature of difference in intake |
|---|---|---|---|
Protein | 28–32 | p = 0.039 | Intake higher in milk-free infants compared to control infants between these weeks |
Fat | 32–36 | p = 0.023 | Intake increases in milk-free infants at a greater rate than intake in control infants between these weeks |
Calcium | 36–40 | p = 0.025 | Intake decreases in milk-free infants but increases in control infants between these weeks |
Iron | 24–28 | p = 0.028 | Intake increases slightly in milk-free infants but increases sharply in control infants between these weeks |
Selenium | 24–28 | p = 0.049 | Intake increases dramatically in milk-free infants but only slightly in control infants between these weeks |
Vitamin E | 32–36 | P = 0.044 | Intake increases dramatically in milk-free infants but decreases slightly in control infants between these weeks |
