Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows poor dietary intake of key micronutrients in children, highlighting implications for cognitive outcomes.

Key Points

  • Lower dietary intake of key micronutrients like iron and zinc negatively affects cognitive performance in children.
  • More than 96% of children had inadequate intakes of zinc and iron, while over half met guidelines for vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • The observational analysis used 24-hour dietary recalls and cognitive assessments via Raven's matrices in a sample of 251 schoolchildren.
  • These findings call for urgent attention to dietary deficiencies among children in Côte d'Ivoire, as they link to cognitive health.
