520	3		_aReports the findings of a major cross-sectional study of breast-feeding involving twenty-three thousand mother-child pairs in nine countries in Africa, Latin America, South-East Asia, Europe and the Pacific. The main objective was to determine which factors encourage or discourage breast-feeding and promote artificial feeding in different socio-economic groups. Conclusions indicate that urban middle- and upper-income groups are less likely to breast-feed than urban lower-income groups, that urban poor groups are less likely to breast-feed than rural traditional groups, and that the age and parity of mothers do not appear to influence breast-feeding behaviour. The study also underscored the importance of supplementary feeding, revealing some degree of growth impairment in the absence of additional foods by six months.
