Abstract

Factors thought to be relevant to a child’s cognitive development in this environment were measured at baseline when the children were 4-6 years pf age, and several were found to be associated with scores in at least one of the three cognitive tests administered to the children: the area where the children lived (site), gender, whether children received pre -school education, their HIV status, the level of parental education, height-for-age, and hemoglobin. The evidence showed a significant association between site, poor nutrition as measured by height-for-age z-scores on the one hand, and cognitive outcomes as measured by the Grover Counter Test and subtests of the KABC-11.on the other [1,2].
