Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in Costa Rica found lasting cognitive deficits in children with chronic iron deficiency, showing 8 to 9 points lower cognitive scores up to 19 years later, and this study aimed to replicate those findings in a more modern, well-resourced environment.
- Researchers studied children aged 12 to 40 months, monitoring their iron status and cognitive development over 12 months after intervention (diet advice and oral iron) and compared their outcomes based on their iron status.
- Results indicated that children with chronic iron deficiency had cognitive scores 6 to 7 points lower than those with sufficient iron levels after 4 and 12 months, despite some improvement in iron status, suggesting a need for further research on early
