Pretty cool to see this! I’ll try and provide a response with some substantive thoughts in a couple weeks, though I’m unlikely to have capacity to do the deep dive that the complexity of the topic requires. Really hoping the issue of ‘external validity ’ especially w.r.t to Global South populations gets more discourse bandwidth. Big plus one to Ulrik’s comment, this seems to extend beyond iron and anemia.
If anyone is interested in further research in anemia and adolescent cognitive development in India specifically, please do reach out. My father Shashikant Kulgod, a gastroenterologist and founder of the non-profit Rajlakshmi Children Foundation, and I are interested in working with a growing dataset we have of public school students from multiple districts in North Karnataka. We have lacked the expertise/capacity to do much with the data already collected (pre/post COVID) but likely have the ability to collect data from thousands of students (health and cognitive data points).
