"Effects of Malnutrition on the Psychomotor Development of Children"

Abstract

Nutritional status is a determinant of health, therefore, all the factors that interfere with it will directly affect the well-being of any human being. In third world countries, the population tends to exceed the limits of food both downwards and upwards which probably has important implications at a general level within the human body. Among them, malnutrition, a public health problem, is considered a disease that interferes with and hinders the life and opportunities of those who are undernourished. Review articles and originals have concluded in a very radical way that nutrition during the early stages of life will tangentially affect both neurological development in the infant and in adult life, which is why the revision of this topic becomes important.
