Resumen
Objetivo: Investigar la relación entre la lactancia materna y la prevención de la obesidad infantil, evaluando su papel protector. Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integrativa, cuya investigación se realizó en las bases de datos PubMed y BVS con los descriptores “Breast Feeding”, “Disease Prevention” y “Obesity”, incluyendo estudios de libre acceso en inglés, publicados entre 2018 y 2023. Se incluyeron 21 artículos para el análisis. Resultados: La evidencia indica que la lactancia materna exclusiva hasta los 6 meses está asociada con una reducción del riesgo de obesidad infantil a los 4 años. La composición de la leche materna, incluidos los hormonas que regulan el apetito, fue identificada como un factor importante. Además, la lactancia prolongada y la introducción adecuada de alimentos complementarios fueron factores cruciales en la prevención del sobrepeso. Consideraciones finales: La lactancia materna actúa como un factor protector contra la obesidad infantil, pero la promoción de ambientes que fomenten una alimentación saludable y actividad física es esencial para complementar esta protección.
