ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Research background

Proximal determinants define the maintenance of breastfeeding (BF) in infants with low birth weights in the Latin American population.

Research motivation

Equity in health is an essential issue to address to achieve sustainable development goals regarding the food security of the population at risk.

Research objectives

To identify proximal determinants associated with BF maintenance in low birth weight infants at term. Little literature describes how proximal determinants affect BF maintenance in populations at nutritional risk. Determining the epigenetic conditions involved in infant feeding practices is essential to develop good health practices.

Research methods

A scoping review was performed according to the five phases proposed and reporting according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement.

Research results

Proximal determinants related to social position are involved in the maintenance of BF in population at nutritional risk. Despite the fact that BF is considered the best food for the population at nutritional risk, the prevalence at a global level does not allow achieving sustainable development objectives. Individual factors and self-management skills should be promoted to reinforce infant feeding practices.

Research conclusions

The analysis of social inequalities is fundamental to reduce the gaps in the provision of health services. A comprehensive approach with a differential emphasis based on individual and collective response capacity is a priority for the formulation of public health policies.

Research perspectives

To analyze individual and collective differences based on the epidemiological behavior of possible nutritional affectations in the population at risk. Develop public policies based on evidence-based medicine and on the needs perceived by the population.
