摘要:This investigation confirmed that undernourished infants and children who were in a state of mild-moderate protein-calorie malnutrition showed significant cognitive growth when their diet was supplemened with lysine-threonine tablets for more than 3 years. In children over 3 years of age a rise in D. Q. might be less pronounced as compared with the cases of children under 3 years of age. Thus it is suggested that nutritional improvement of children in undernourished areas may somehow influence mental development, while it is certain that social, and environmental factors have a very important influence on brain function.
