Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Specific nutritional and micronutrient deficiencies are consistently linked across multiple demographic studies to measurable reductions in cognitive and mental performance.

The analysis

The retrieved papers include comprehensive reviews and empirical studies (such as those examining vitamin B12, magnesium, and general micronutrient status) demonstrating a clear positive link between nutritional deficiencies and reductions in cognitive performance. No papers refute the claim.
