Growth of Preterm Infants Fed a Infant Milk Formula Containing High Versus Low Amounts of Beta-palmitate
Sponsor: Ospedali Riuniti Ancona
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess weight gain of preterm infants (gestational age lower than 32 weeks) fed infant milk formula with about 60% beta-palmitate (EX\_IMF) vs infant milk formula with similar macronutrient, mineral and fatty acid composition but lower amounts of beta-palmitate (ST\_IMF). Own mother milk (OMM) fed infants will serve as reference group.
Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Controlled Clinical Trial to Assess Weight Gain of Preterm Infants Fed a New Infant Milk Formula Containing High Amounts of Beta-palmitate Versus a Standard Infant Milk Formula Containing Low Amounts of Beta-palmitate
