Human milk oligosaccharide profiles and child atopic dermatitis up to 2 years of age: The Ulm SPATZ Health Study

Abstract

Our findings suggest that the intake of different levels (or even absence) of the individual HMOs measured at 6 weeks and 6 months of lactation, in the current study, is not significantly associated with the development of AD in early childhood. Given the exploratory nature of our study and the limited sample size, these results should be interpreted with caution. The specific HMOs for which we show plausible associations at conventional level may warrant further research and investigation.
