Abstract

The development of a child in infancy represents a critical time window for the formation of future health due to the extraordinary plasticity at this stage of various organs and their sensitivity to nutrition and other environmental factors. Children born prematurely are a vulnerable link for many pathological conditions, while their anatomical and physiological features of metabolism are not able to fully control the internal processes of self-regulation.
