Description
Summary:This study assessed whether specific nutritional variables added unique variance to the prediction of toddler development outcomes in an Egyptian village, using 153 toddlers. Results suggest that, for the 18- to 23-month age, specific nutritional predictors can be identified and that there is specificity of nutritional action. (SLD)
