Diet Quality and Educational Achievement (Posted by DMcCall on May 12)
One of the articles in this issue of JOSH includes a correlational study of diet quality and physical activity. That article notes the relationship between diet, socio-economic status, gender and academic performance. The relationship between health, school health programs and academic achievement is one of the discussion threads that we would like to experiment with on this wiki. To participate in that discussion, scroll to the bottom of this page of click on the discussion forum in the navigation bar at the top of the page.

The abstract for this JOSH article is at: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1746-1561.2008.00288.x
