Systolic and
diastolic blood pressure were also increased in the exclusively breastfed group (MD 1.30 mmHg systolic, 95 % CI [0.39 to 2.21], p
= 0.0049 and MD 1.00 mmHg
diastolic, 95 % CI [0.29 to 1.71], p
= 0.0058; 1 study / 2951 children).
In a random - effects model, the pooled mean
diastolic blood pressure was lower among breastfed infants (difference: — 0.5 mmHg, 95 percent CI: — 0.9, — 0.04; p
= 0.03).
MP increased heart rate (F
= 98, P
= 0.0001) and systolic (F
= 153, P
= 0.0001) and
diastolic (F
= 65, P
= 0.0001)
blood pressure in both groups, and MP's effects differed between groups for heart rate (interaction effect; F
= 4.6, P
= 0.04) and
diastolic blood pressure (interaction effect: F
= 4.0, P
= 0.05), but not for systolic
blood pressure (Fig. 1B).
Borderline associations were observed for
diastolic blood pressure (partial r
= − 0.21, P
= 0.054), and for initial brain volume (partial r
= − 0.19, P
= 0.092).
