Abstract
Iron deficiency increases the probability of deviations in the trajectory of children’s motor and mental development from a normal developmental path. This justification is found in studies of the role of iron in the brain and in studies on the developmental delays of iron-deficient children. Iron deficiency is associated with developmental delays and iron supplementation improves performance of subjects with this nutrient deficit (Pollitt, &Metallinos-Katsaras, 1990).
