Objective: To examine whether breast-feeding duration and socio-economic status (SES) interact to predict junk food consumption among offspring and whether the interaction differs across racial/ethnic groups.
Design: Survey research using a longitudinal panel design. Hierarchical linear regression was used to analyse the data.
Setting: In-home interviews with the child's parents over a 5-year period across the USA.
Subjects: Approximately 10 000 American children from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study: Birth Cohort (ECLS-B).
Results: The findings revealed that longer breast-feeding durations correspond to lower levels of junk food consumption, but that this relationship emerges consistently only among low-SES blacks.
Conclusions: Efforts to promote breast-feeding among low-SES black women may have the added benefit of reducing their children's junk food intake, and may thereby promote their general health and well-being. Future research should seek to explore the mechanisms by which breast-feeding might benefit the dietary habits of low-SES black children.
