The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has just published
"Nutrition, Health, and Child Development: Research Advances and
Policy Recommendations." Developed in partnership with the
University
of the West Indies' Tropical Metabolism Research Unit (TMRU), and
with
the collaboration of the World Bank, this book emphasizes an
integrated approach to child development that considers how its
building blocks--health, nutrition, and psychosocial
stimulation--interact with one another.
This publication examines how and to what extent nutrition, health,
and stimulation programs can affect children's cognitive and social
developments and their ability to learn in school. By examining
recent
research, the authors-all leading professionals working at the
cutting
edge of nutrition research-explore such topics as undernutrition,
iron
and iodine deficiencies, neonatal feeding, short-term food
deprivation, parasitic infections, and psychosocial deprivation.
They
also review results from early childhood interventions, including
nutritional supplementation and psychological stimulation, as well
as
interventions in later childhood, including school feeding and
deworming programs.
