Description
Marie K Fialkowski and colleagues relate total breastfeeding time to later diabetes in mothers in a 2026 multiethnic cohort study. Feeding history may guard mothers against type 2 diabetes, but proof across ethnic groups was patchy.
Women who answered the 2003 to 2008 follow-up in the Multiethnic Cohort were tracked for new diabetes, yielding 5,122 fresh cases. Mothers whose combined feeding across children reached 24 months or more had an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.87 for diabetes. Any breastfeeding lowered risk in White women, also at 0.87 on the ratio scale. The long-duration gain stood out in Native Hawaiian women, at 0.65 in the adjusted model.
