|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameters | Weight (g) | Length (cm) | Head circumference (cm) | Weight (g) | Length (cm) | Head circumference (cm) | Weight (g) | Length (cm) | Head circumference (cm) |
| Formula S (n = 26) | 3010 ± 303 | 49.3 ± 1.7 | 34.0 ± 1.0 | 4112 ± 433 | 52.9 ± 2.2 | 36.6 ± 1.0 | 5935 ± 667 | 59.9 ± 2.1 | 39.9 ± 1.2 |
| Formula F (n = 26) | 3041 ± 350 | 49.3 ± 1.5 | 34.2 ± 1.2 | 4160 ± 509 | 53.1 ± 1.8 | 37.5 ± 2.6 | 5885 ± 647 | 60.2 ± 2.0 | 40.2 ± 1.4 |
| Breast milk (n = 26) | 3105 ± 381 | 50.0 ± 1.7 | 34.1 ± 1.2 | 4225 ± 642 | 54.2 ± 2.1 | 37.5 ± 2.0 | 6082 ± 885 | 61.3 ± 2.6 | 40.6 ± 1.9 |
Analysis of variance was used to assess differences in continuous variables between groups.
No differences in anthropometric measurements were found among the two study groups (Formula S vs Formula F) at each study point.
