Abstract
This prospective 20-yr follow-up study contrasts the development of a group of 20 children grossly undernourished during infancy (index group) with that of a matched control group. There were significant differences between the 2 groups in head circumference, height, weight, full-scale IQ, verbal quotient, nonverbal quotient and in visuo-motor perceptual function. Despite their disadvantages, the index group have integrated effectively into the community, and their children have not experienced the nutritional deprivation they suffered during their own childhoods.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
