Lifetime breastfeeding and mortality among parous women in the Mexican Teacher's Cohort
Breastfeeding was associated with reduced all-cause, cardiometabolic, and breast cancer mortality in Mexican women. The findings support the need for comprehensive policies to support breastfeeding, considering the potential for significant public health benefits. Additionally, the study highlighted a substantial gap in breastfeeding practices in Mexico, with average durations far below international recommendations.
