Habitual physical activity, psychomotor performance, and older workers

Article Abstract:

Physical activity may improve the job performance in older workers. It is increasingly difficult for employees aged over 55 years to lift, walk, and stand. Employees who briskly exercised twice a week deteriorated least in their work performance compared to workers who were less active than before. In addition, weight control and proper nutrition positively affect work performance. The work environment should be adapted to the physiological changes of aging, such as vision, hearing, muscle strength, and motor skills.

Psychomotor development and behavior in iron-deficient anemic infants

Article Abstract:

Iron deficiency appears to affect behavioral and psychomotor development in infants but only if they are anemic. Iron is found in many parts of the brain, leading to speculation that it may be involved in the development of the nervous system. The research on a link between iron deficiency and infant development has been inconclusive. There seems to be an association between iron deficiency and lower scores on tests of behavioral and psychomotor development. But it is only seen in iron-deficient anemic infants.

Early favor experiences: research update

Article Abstract:

Infants are not passive recipients of flavored foods. Their responses to particular formulas change during infancy and their early experiences influence their first experience with solid food. Parents should offer variety of food to aid in preference development as well offering nutritional balance.
