Brain development and scholastic achievement in the Education Quality Measurement System tests in Chilean school-aged children
TLDR
The hypothesis that HC is the most relevant physical index associated with SA is confirmed; therefore, children with the lowest scores in the SIMCE tests probably have lower brain development.
A multifactorial approach of nutritional, intellectual, brain development, cardiovascular risk, socio-economic, demographic and educational variables affecting the scholastic achievement in Chilean students: An eight- year follow-up study
TLDR
2009 SIMCE outcomes were positively and significantly associated with 2013 SIMCE and with 2017 PSU and, with 2013 PSU outcomes in school-age children from 2010 5ESG and 1HSG, respectively, and may be useful for educational and health planning in Chile and countries in a comparable stage of development.
Head circumference and child ADHD symptoms and cognitive functioning: results from a large population-based cohort study
TLDR
Prenatal HC and head growth measurements gave little information about child cognitive abilities and behavior at preschool years, however, HC at birth and early childhood was positively associated with a range of neuropsychological outcomes, including protective associations with ADHD symptoms.

Head Circumference of Infants Born to Mothers with Different Educational Levels; The Generation R Study
Objective Head circumference (HC) reflect growth and development of the brain in early childhood. It is unknown whether socioeconomic differences in HC are present in early childhood. Therefore, we…
Head growth of undernourished children in rural Nepal: association with demographics, health and diet
TLDR
Routine HCZ assessments may contribute to better understanding of the links between poverty and cognitive development and reflect brain size in young children, which is linked to cognitive function.
On the relationship between head circumference, brain size, prenatal long-chain PUFA/5-methyltetrahydrofolate supplementation and cognitive abilities during childhood
TLDR
It is found that ages between 0 and 4 years as the optimal time for brain growth; postnatal factors might have the most relevant impact on structural maturation of certain cortical areas and subcortical nuclei, independent of prenatal supplementation.
Assessment of Nutritional Status of Preschool Children: Head Circumference and Other Anthropometric Indices
TLDR
As head circumference (HC) is a reliable physical index of both past nutritional situation and brain development and important indicator for measuring nutritional status, routine measurement and intervention for assessing and removing undernutrition is to be recommended.

Study on anthropometric measurements of head in medical faculty students and their relation with intelligence quotient
Questions about intelligence have always occupied scientists’ minds, and many types of research have been conducted to find answers to these questions. Although inheritance and environmental…

Nutritional status, brain development and scholastic achievement of Chilean high-school graduates from high and low intellectual quotient and socio-economic status
TLDR
Results confirm the hypotheses formulated that independently of SES, high-school graduates with similar IQ have similar variables of nutritional status, brain development and SA and are relevant in explaining the complex interactions between variables that affect IQ and SA.
Head circumference in ELBW babies is associated with learning difficulties and cognition but not ADHD in the school‐aged child
This study examines whether a small head circumference (HC) and low head‐circumference growth velocity (HGV) during the first year of life predict consequences at school age in learning, cognition,…
Intellectual ability and nutritional status assessed through anthropometric measurements of Chilean school‐age children from different socioeconomic status
TLDR
The results may provide the basis for further research related with the impact of malnutrition at an earlier age on IA, HC and subsequent brain development and for improved nutritional and educational planning.
Brain size, head size, and intelligence quotient in monozygotic twins
TLDR
Forebrain volume, cortical surface area, and callosal area are similar in MZ twins; and these brain measures are tightly correlated with one another and with head circumference but not with IQ in young, healthy adults.

TLDR
Although mean IQs were not significantly different between those subjects whose head circumference was proportional and those whoseHead circumference was relatively small, mean academic achievement scores were significantly higher in those subjectswhose head size was proportional.
Intellectual and Psychological Performance in Males Born Small for Gestational Age With and Without Catch-Up Growth
TLDR
The data strongly support the view that, for males born SGA, it is an advantage to have catch-up growth in length, and among SGA-born males, the most important predictor was the absence of catch- up growth.
Growth in utero and cognitive function in adult life: follow up study of people born between 1920 and 1943
TLDR
Fetal growth seems to be less important than genetic factors and environmental influences in postnatal life in determining adult cognitive performance Adaptations made by the fetus in response to conditions that retard its growth may be largely successful in maintaining brain development.
