Skin Carotenoids Are Related to Cognitive Abilities among Toddlers [PDF]

Journal of Nutrition
Carotenoids are antioxidant pigments that deposit in human tissues (e.g., skin, macula, and brain) upon dietary consumption. The health implications of skin carotenoids, which reflect overall dietary carotenoid consumption, have not been adequately studied in younger populations.This work aimed to examine links between skin carotenoids and cognitive ...

Reflection Spectroscopy Skin Carotenoids Correlate with Serum Carotenoids in School-Aged Children. [PDF]

J Nutr
Serum carotenoids are thought to reflect higher consumption of fruits and vegetables. However, venous blood draws are invasive and not suitable for pediatric populations. Reflection spectroscopy (RS) offers a non-invasive alternative for measuring carotenoids in the skin; however, the relationship between RS-assessed skin carotenoids and serum ...
