Studies regarding the impact of micronutrient status on behavior in man: iron deficiency as a model.

چکیده
In studies conducted in both Cambridge, Massachusetts and Guatemala (1), we have obtained data confirming our hypothesis that iron nutrition affects cognitive function in children (2, 3). The design and conduct of these studies led us to realize the great complexities involved both in the definition of nutritional status in man and in the selection of relevant measures of cognitive function. Herein, we present some of our approaches to these problems. The first section deals with problems surrounding the measurement of iron status; the second deals with issues relevant to the quantitation of cognitive function in children and to the cross-cultural comparability of such data.
