Introduction: Globally, more than 200 million children under the age of 5 do not reach their full potential cognitive development (CD) caused by poverty, nutrition, poor health and poor health care. Insufficient nutrients, such as DHA and EPA, can compromise the structural development of the brain, and have an impact on CD during the first years of life. The objectives of this study are aimed at evaluating the association between the consumption of fish and shellfish in the study and the CD of children belonging to the four countries included in the Niños del Milenio study. Methodology: Secondary analysis of data from the longitudinal cohort study. It was carried out in four developing countries: Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam. Our outcome variable was cognitive development using Peabody Vocabulary Test, and our exposure variable was seafood consumption. We built a Multiple Regression Model. All analyzes were constructed with a 95% confidence level. Results: The Multiple Regression Model adjusted for sex, age, socioeconomic level, area of residence, height-for-age, mother's education level, meat/offal consumption, mother's mental health (in Peru), and consumption of fish and seafood. Conclusions: A marginal association was found between the consumption of fish and shellfish and cognitive development in the children evaluated in Ethiopia.
