The Individual and Combined Effects of Prenatal Micronutrient Supplementations on Neurobehavioral Developmental Disorders in Preschool Children.

ABSTRACT: Background: Neurobehavioral developmental disorders significantly affect children's future well-being and contribute to the global disease burden. While prenatal micronutrient supplementation is crucial for fetal neural development, their individual and combined effects on subsequent neurobehavioral outcomes in childhood remain poorly understood.
