Three-month nutritional supplementation in Indonesian infants and toddlers benefits memory function 8 y laterE Pollitt
Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of California, Davis 95616, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 66:1357-63. 1997..This finding shows that supplementation can have long-lasting effects on a specific domain if the child receives it at the appropriate stage of development...

Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, and Program in International Nutrition, University of California Davis, 95616, USA
Am J Clin Nutr 67:779S-784S. 1998..We propose that these alterations result from a state of metabolic stress in which homeostatic mechanisms work to maintain circulating glucose concentrations...

Program in International and Community Nutrition, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
J Nutr 139:763-72. 2009..e. prevention and treatment of anemia, stunting, and malaria)...
Young Zanzibari children with iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, stunting, or malaria have lower motor activity scores and spend less time in locomotionDeanna K Olney

Combined iron and folic acid supplementation with or without zinc reduces time to walking unassisted among Zanzibari infants 5- to 11-mo oldDeanna K Olney
U.S. Department of Agriculture, ARS-Western Human Nutrition Research Center, Davis, CA, USA
J Nutr 136:2427-34. 2006..There were no significant treatment effects on changes in HAZ or WAZ. The effects of treatment on time to walking may have been mediated by improvements in iron status or hemoglobin, but were not mediated through improvements in growth...

J Nutr 131:669S-675S. 2001..Snapshots of development will overlook the course of effects of a nutrition intervention over time. Repeated measures over time within the same domain are considered particularly useful to draw the course of development...

Division of Nutritional Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
J Nutr 135:2840-4. 2005..We conclude that growth, anemia, and diet are independently associated with delays in the onset of bipedal locomotion among young Nepali children...
