Sponsored by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · Observational
Background: Adequate levels of beneficial nutrients are important for neurodevelopment. Although, nutrients are ingested in combination, considering nutrients as a mixture has not been studied with respect to health, such as neurodevelopment.
Objective: To examine the impact of prenatal and childhood nutrition mixtures on neurodevelopment.
Design: Participants included mother-child pairs in the Programming Research in Obesity, Growth Environment and Social Stress (PROGRESS) prospective birth cohort in Mexico City. Prenatal and child nutrition profiles were assessed among 65 and 329 children respectively by analyzing components of a food frequency questionnaire. Child neurodevelopmental outcomes at 4-6 years of age were measured using the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA).
Healthy pregnant women living in Mexico city from 2006-2009 seeking health care in clinics (Parent-child pairs) and their children at 4 - 6 years of age.

McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA)
The MSCA consists of 18 short sub-tests that are weighted and combined to yield five scale scores or indexes - verbal, perceptual performance, quantitative, memory and motor - as well as an overall general cognitive index based on the first three scaled indexes. The McCarthy Scale index scores can range from 22 - 78 with higher index scores indicating better outcome.
Time frame: at age 4
