Abstract
Nutritional deficiencies at all stages of growth, both pre- and post-natal, can affect a child's physical, mental and behavioral development. In this paper, we review literature about how mental development is affected by the following nutritional conditions: low birth weight, mild, moderate, and severe protein-energy malnutrition, iodine deficiency, and iron deficiency.
