Background: Obesity is characterized as a low-grade chronic inflammatory state, marked by elevated inflammatory biomarkers. Breast milk (BM) is rich in nutritional elements, vitamins, minerals, immunological factors, and bioactive components. These bioactive components, capable of influencing biological processes, may vary in concentration based on maternal body composition. Research Aim/Question(s): This study aimed to explore the association between pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (interleukin-1 beta [IL-1β], interleukin-6 [IL-6], and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α]) in human colostrum and maternal body composition, as analyzed through bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA)...
