Abstract

This study was to evaluate the impact of nutritional status on the academic performance of pupils from two schools in Yopougon, a town of Abidjan district the largest city in Côte d’Ivoire.For this purpose, anthropometric measures such as weight and height measured in these schoolchildren were allowed to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI) and to make a classification of BMI obtained according to age and sex. The mathematical scores, text operations and the class average were identified. The values were exploited statistically through SPSS software (version 20). Malnutrition concerns girls and boys. It has allocated 10.13% girls and 10.13% boys. As for overweight or obesity, 0.84% and 5.06% for boys and girls respectively were affected. However, no correlation existed between nutritional status and the various school performances. Thus, forms of malnutrition concerned by our study do not influence school performance.
