Scanning for New Evidence on the Nutrient Content of Human Milk: A Process Model for Determining Age-Specific Nutrient Requirements (2020)
Chapter: Appendix C: Literature Search Results
C
Literature Search Results
Two sets of literature searches were performed for nutrient composition and milk volume. The first set was performed in Medline (Ovid) in December 2019. The second search set was conducted in Embase (Ovid), PubMed, and Scopus in January 2020. At this time, the Medline searches were also rerun to capture any reports published since the December search. Each set contained separate searches for nutrient composition and milk volume. The initial literature search was conducted beginning with 1970; however, it was later refined to studies from 1980 onward in order to capture more consistent and up-to-date methodologies in nutrient analyses. The search results are presented in the following tables.
