RESUMO
Protein energy malnutrition (PME) affects negatively children's somatic and cognitive development. Micronutrient deficiencies which usually coexist with PEM also have a negative influence on the cognitive development of children. The social and familiar environment in which disadvantaged children usually grow is very poor from the point of view of psychological and sensorial stimulation. All these factors together severely impede the full expression of poor children's genetic potential.
