Description
Laura Sofia Aguilera-Ariño leads a 2026 cross-sectional study of nutrition and brain development in preschoolers in El Codito, a low-income Bogotá neighborhood. Food shortages at home can shape growth and learning in the first school years.
Children at community childcare centers were measured against World Health Organization growth charts and tested with a national development scale. Household food insecurity was surveyed as well. Most children showed adequate nutrition and expected development, yet some faced stunting risk or excess weight, and scores varied by skill area. Certain growth measures linked significantly to development scores.
