Unraveling the relationship between nutritional status, cognitive function, and school performance among school-aged children in Taabo, Côte d'Ivoire: a school-based observational study
This study found high rates of B vitamins and iron deficiencies in Ivorian school-aged children. Iron, folate, tryptophan, calcium, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acid biomarkers showed promising correlations with cognition and academic performance. Further research aimed at investigating such relationships is needed.
