Early Hunger Harms Black Children’s Mental Development
A Boston AP report details a Tufts study showing hunger in infancy dulls later mental development in black children. By age three, deprived kids may fall behind better nourished peers despite initial advantages. The researchers advocate not only more food but stimulating experiences and poverty-reduction social change. Using the Gesell Scale, black infants showed a cognitive quotient around 117 before 13 weeks, versus a 100 white norm. Some high early scores may be inflated by early death of weaker peers.
