title: Psychological problems and nutritional status in 6-year-old children.
abstract: There were no relations between nutritional status and psychological problems in 83 nonclinical 6-yr.-old children from low-risk socioeconomic and family backgrounds. Only Vitamin B12 and weight were significantly lower in the group with psychological problems. More in-depth longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm these results.
