　　An article published in the Lancet medical journal dealt with a special issue on disability.It was a study on disability and children in eighteen low-and middle-income countries.It indicated that in almost half of the countries，children who were breast-fed were less likely to have a disability than those who were not.The same was true of those who had a deficiency of vitamin A and those who were underweight.Children who did not take part in early learning activities or attend school were also more likely to be disabled than those who did.
