Summary: | This publication presents a review and analysis of the scientific literature on the nutritional status of low-income preschool children in the United States. The publication includes a summary of the literature review, a listing of final conclusions, the literature review itself, and the reference consulted. The review comes to several conclusions including: nutrition problems are associated with low-income; diets of low-income preschoolers tend to be adequate in nutritional quality, but insufficient in quantity; preschool children can suffer negative social and behavioral effects when they are mildly to moderately undernourished; and participation in food and nutrition programs is associated with improvement in nutritional status among preschoolers. |
