[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well let's see. Underweight could signal malnourishment. Malnourished children do not develop was well mentally and physically as well lnourished children (especially at younger ages). [b]Overweight could signal high blood pressure or diabetes[/b]. This could lead to headaches, inappropriate dips or spikes in blood sugar. Just to name a few. Generally if you are physically unwell it can impact your ability to learn. [/quote] Then why not just measure blood pressure and blood sugar directly? That would be far more accurate. Why fiddle around with an intermediate indicator? And yes, malnourished children do not learn well -- which is why there's a National School Lunch Program, as well as other food assistance (ideally), like food backpacks.[/quote]
