Abstract

This study assesses the associations between nutritional status and cognitive development of schoolchildren. A unit increase in height-for-age Z-score was associated with 0.12 SD, 0.08 SD and 0.12 SD increase in standardized digit span, Raven's colored progressive metrics, and performance index of visual search task, respectively. A unit increase in body-mass-index-for-age Z-score was associated with 0.11 SD increase in standardized digit span. Hemoglobin concentration was not associated with any of the cognitive outcomes. Chronic malnutrition was associated with cognitive development in schoolchildren while thinness and hemoglobin concentrations were associated with selected or no cognitive outcomes, respectively.

埃塞俄比亚学童慢性营养不良而非贫血与认知发展的关系：一项横断面研究

本研究评估了学龄儿童营养状况与认知发展之间的关系。身高-年龄 Z 值每增加一个单位，标准化数位跨度、瑞文彩色渐进量表和视觉搜索任务的表现指数分别增加 0.12 个标准差、0.08 个标准差和 0.12 个标准差。体质指数-年龄 Z 值每增加一个单位，标准化数位跨度就会增加 0.11 个标准差。血红蛋白浓度与任何认知结果都无关。长期营养不良与学龄儿童的认知发展有关，而瘦弱和血红蛋白浓度分别与选定的认知结果或无认知结果有关。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
