Association of development quotient with nutritional status of vitamins B6, B12, and folate in 6–59-month-old children: Results from the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019)

Association of development quotient with nutritional status of vitamins B6, B12, and folate in 6–59-month-old children: Results from the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019)

Vitamins B6, B12, and folate are essential for the formation and maintenance of the human brain, but studies evaluating these vitamins with early childhood development (ECD) in children under 5 y are limited and controversial. To evaluate the association between vitamins B6, B12, and folate concentr...

Zusammenfassung:Vitamins B6, B12, and folate are essential for the formation and maintenance of the human brain, but studies evaluating these vitamins with early childhood development (ECD) in children under 5 y are limited and controversial. To evaluate the association between vitamins B6, B12, and folate concentrations/status and ECD. Data regarding 6520 children aged 6–59 mo from the ENANI-2019 (the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition) were analyzed. ECD was assessed using the Survey of Well-being of Young Children’s milestones questionnaire. Vitamin B6 concentration (nmol/L) was classified according to the tertile of the distribution and with the cutoff 45.3 nmol/L were classified as high, and vitamin B12
