This paper aims to provide a thorough statistical analysis of various dietary components' impact on the growth and developmental milestones of children aged 0-12. Utilizing findings from a comprehensive review of scientific studies and nutritional surveys, the analysis reveals significant correlations between dietary intake and key developmental outcomes.
