[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 2EWAXR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The influence of breastfeeding on blood pressure in later life is uncertain. The authors conducted a systematic review of published studies from which estimates of a mean difference (standard error) in blood pressure between breastfed and bottle-fed subjects could be derived. They searched MEDLINE and Excerpta Medica (EMBASE) bibliographic databases, which was supplemented by manual searches of reference lists. Fifteen studies (17 observations) including 17,503 subjects were summarized. Systolic blood pressure was lower in breastfed compared with bottle-fed infants (pooled difference : - 1.4 mmHg, 95% confidence interval (CI) : - 2.2, - 0.6), but evidence of heterogeneity between study estimates was evident (chi (2) (16)=42.0, por=1,000) studies (-0.6 mmHg, 95% CI : - 1.2,0.02) compared with smaller (n
