“…Not only do poor motor skills negatively affect a child's ability to participate in activities of daily living, but motor impairment is associated with poor academic performance, cognitive deficits, and emotional and behavioral problems. 28,29 A single-center Canadian study revealed a significant increase in the proportion of children performing 1993-1994, 1995-1996, and 1997-1998) for ELBW infants born at <32 weeks' gestation age. 26 However, when examining the outcomes of infants born at <25 weeks' gestation age separately, the number of children performing 2 SDs below the mean on motor assessment tools at 18 months of age was similar.…”

“…The 9‐ to 12‐year follow‐up study also found higher general intellectual ability among children of anemic mothers who received multiple micronutrients during pregnancy compared with the IFA group . Poor child development has also been indirectly associated with poor micronutrient status during pregnancy, since children born LBW are at higher risk of developmental delays later in life …”

Inadequate micronutrient intakes are relatively common in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), especially among pregnant women, who have increased micronutrient requirements. This can lead to an increase in adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. This review presents the conclusions of a task force that set out to assess the prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intakes and adverse birth outcomes in LMICs; the data from trials comparing multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) that contain iron and folic acid (IFA) with IFA supplements alone; the risks of reaching the upper intake levels with MMS; and the cost‐effectiveness of MMS compared with IFA. Recent meta‐analyses demonstrate that MMS can reduce the risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age in comparison with IFA alone. An individual‐participant data meta‐analysis also revealed even greater benefits for anemic and underweight women and female infants. Importantly, there was no increased risk of harm for the pregnant women or their infants with MMS. These data suggest that countries with inadequate micronutrient intakes should consider supplementing pregnant women with MMS as a cost‐effective method to reduce the risk of adverse birth outcomes.

Aim:To examine how healthy preschoolers born very preterm (VPT) with and without significant movement impairments differ from full term (FT) controls in subcortical brain volume measures and white matter diffusion properties. Method:A case-control, observational study of fifty-four VPT-born and 32 FT-born children were administered the Movement Assessment Battery for Children -Second Edition (MABC-2) and underwent MRI within 6-months of starting kindergarten. Selected subcortical structural volumes, fractional anisotropy (FA), and mean diffusivity (MD) of selected white matter tracts were compared across VPT children with movement impairments (VPT-abnormal), and VPT and FT children without movement impairments. Results:The VPT-abnormal group had higher MD in the corpus callosum and inferior frontaloccipital fasciculus and lower FA in the anterior thalamic radiations, corpus callosum, and cingulum than the FT group. The forceps major was particularly affected in the VPT-abnormal group compared with the VPT and FT groups without movement impairments. Both VPT groups had reduced brainstem and cerebellar white matter volumes and larger lateral ventricles compared to the FT group.Interpretation: Movement impairments in healthy VPT preschoolers were associated with more abnormalities in white matter integrity and reduced subcortical brain volumes most likely reflecting a greater extent of white matter damage associated with their very preterm birth.
