Integrating population outcomes, biological mechanisms and research methods in the study of human milk and lactation

Description:

The 10th Conference of the International Society for Research on Human Milk and Lactation, held on September 15--19, 2000, in Tucson, Arizona. The presented sessions at the meeting are as diverse as the volume itself. These sessions include the impact of micronutrient deficiencies during lactation on maternal and infant health, the premature infant, developmental immunology, breastfeeding in the industrialized world, and viral transmission in milk. Whenever possible, the sessions were organized to include human population research, research showing the biological underpinnings of the effects on human health, and important methodological issues.
