 Dr. Azad and former Azad Lab postdoc, Dr. Kozeta Miliku, were interviewed on CNN about their new paper published in the Journal of the American Heart Association titled Breastfeeding in the First Days of Life Is Associated With Lower Blood Pressure at 3 Years of Age. "We found, contrary to our expectations, it did not matter how long you were breastfed, whether it was two days, two weeks, two months or two years," Azad said. "We saw an improvement of blood pressure profiles from any breastfeeding at all." Azad and Miliku hope to continue following the CHILD Cohort to monitor whether these differences in blood pressure levels at age 3 impact the participants' health into adulthood, according to the CNN article.
