"There is considerable evidence from observational studies in developing countries linking undernutrition in early life with poorer cognitive and neuropsychological development (Grantham-McGregor & Baker-Henningham, 2005). Interpreting such associations is problematic as undernourished children are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds, to have parents with lower levels of education, a less stimulating home environment and to have been born with a low birthweight. Such factors are likely to confound any link between diet in early life and development. However, data from trials in developing countries suggest that improving children’s nutritional status, perhaps particularly in the first two years of life, can benefit cognitive and neuropsychological function, at least in the short term (Neumann, Murphy, Gewa, Grillenberger, & Bwibo, 2007; Grantham-McGregor & Baker-Henningham, 2005)."

  There are many factors that can be involved with a childs' undernourishment. "...undernourished children are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds, to have parents with lower levels of education, a less stimulating home environment and to have been born with a low birthweight." All of these things affect a childs' nutrition which in turn will affect their development as they grow up. Their growing brains depend on good nutrition but because of many of these reasons many kids in third world countries are undernourished thus leading to their stunted development.
• There is evidence that links nutrition to childrens' development. There are many factors that are linked to their development but the most important one is nutrition, especially in the first two years.

Field Research Ideas:

1. Interview pediatrician on importance of nutrition for young children
2. Interview nutritionist on nutritions affects on certain parts of the brain
3. Visit Nutrition lab and interview employees
