Abstract
Two hundred fifty million children in low- and middle-income countries are at risk for intellectual impairment.1 Nutrition plays a key role in the structural and functional development of the human brain from conception to adolescence. In countries where micronutrient deficiencies are common,2 the inability to fulfill the increased requirements for micronutrients during pregnancy is potentially adverse to child development.2,3Keywords
