Summary

This study looks at how healthy substances called carotenoids (found in colorful fruits and vegetables) affect vision and skin in infants and toddlers. Researchers will track 208 healthy children from 4 to 24 months old, measuring their diet, skin carotenoid levels, and eyesight. The goal is to learn more about how these nutrients support early childhood development.
