Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: Nutritional status and cognitive development are involved in all human dimensions as well as in body development. The main purpose of this review article is to know the relationship between these aspects and create guidelines for children programs. Objective: to get scientific understanding about relationship between intelligence, feeding and nutrition in children, specifically in scholar age. Materials and methods: scientific evidence of update articles and on-line information related to the topic were collected to write the paper. The information was available in academic scientific collections from libraries of Universities from Medellin. Results: scientific evidence reported that children, who meet nutritional requirements but live under undisadvantage environmental conditions, don’t can get normal development. These results suggest that in order to analyze the effects of food deprivation on cognitive development, it is necessary to study not only the biological aspects of children, but also the psychological and social determinants. Conclusions: Scientific research suggests that the risk factors which can impact negatively child’s development can be social, family or individual. And the more exposed children to these risks, the worse results for all dimensions of human development.
