Anett Nyaradi,Anett Nyaradi,Jianghong Li,Jianghong Li,Siobhan Hickling,Siobhan Hickling,Jonathan K. Foster,Wendy H. Oddy +7 more
TL;DR: This review examines the current evidence for a possible connection between nutritional intake (including micronutrients and whole diet) and neurocognitive development in childhood and concludes that malnutrition can impair cognitive development, whilst breastfeeding appears to be beneficial for cognition.

TL;DR: FGR and unimproved sanitation are the leading risk factors for stunting in developing countries and reducing the burden of stunting requires a paradigm shift from interventions focusing solely on children and infants to those that reach mothers and families and improve their living environment and nutrition.

Kass,Alicja Mortensen +28 more
TL;DR: A decision tree approach is proposed that enables a risk assessment of substances present in food intended for infants below 16 weeks of age and the approach to be taken for the risk assessment are on a case‐by‐case basis, depending on whether the substance is added intentionally to food and is systemically available.

Benefits of Docosahexaenoic Acid, Folic Acid, Vitamin D and Iodine on Foetal and Infant Brain Development and Function Following Maternal Supplementation during Pregnancy and Lactation
TL;DR: Maternal supplementation within recommended safe intakes in populations with dietary deficiencies may prevent many brain and central nervous system malfunctions and even enhance brain development and function in their offspring.

A controlled trial of iodinated oil for the prevention of endemic cretinism: a long-term follow-up.
P O D Pharoah,K J Connolly +1 more
TL;DR: The results showed that if the iodine supplement was given before conception the nervous form of endemic cretinism was prevented and justifies the use of the term iodine deficiency disorder to cover the polymorphic nature of the abnormalities attributable to iodine deficiency.

Defective neuromotor and cognitive ability in iodine-deficient schoolchildren of an endemic goiter region in Sicily.
Francesco Vermiglio,Milena Sidoti,M. D. Finocchiaro,Salvatore Battiato,Vincenzo Pio Lo Presti,Salvatore Benvenga,Francesco Trimarchi +6 more
TL;DR: The general intellectual aptitude in Bender deficient subjects was evaluated by the Terman Merrill test and was found to be impaired in 95%, thus confirming the existence of an endemic cognitive deficiency (ECD), distinct from the endemic mental deficiency previously found in other endemic goiter, iodine-deficient areas.

R A Thurlow,Pattanee Winichagoon,Tippawan Pongcharoen,Sueppong Gowachirapant,Atitada Boonpraderm,Mari S Manger,Karl B. Bailey,Emorn Wasantwisut,Rosalind S. Gibson +8 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of zinc and iodine deficiency and their interrelationships with vitamin A deficiency and anemia and associations with socio-economic status, hemoglobin type, and anthropometry in North East Thailand are assessed in a cross-sectional study.

Fetal thyroid hormone level at birth is associated with fetal growth.
Beverley M. Shields,Beatrice Knight,Anita Hill,Andrew T. Hattersley,Bijay Vaidya,Bijay Vaidya +5 more
TL;DR: Fetal thyroid hormone level as measured in the cord blood is associated with birth weight, supporting the role of thyroid hormone in fetal growth as discussed by the authors. But thyroid levels are not associated with sexual development.
