Increased iron status during a feeding trial of iron-biofortified beans increases physical work efficiency in Rwandan women
Background
Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear.
Objective
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
Food for education (FFE) programs that include school meals are widely used to improve school participation and performance, but evidence on nutritional benefits is limited.
Wheat biofortified with zinc fertilizer provides a similar portion of daily zinc requirements as post-harvest fortified flour.
Consuming iron-biofortified pearl millet improves iron status and some measures of cognitive performance in Indian adolescents.
