Abstract:
This is a section of the book The Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings. Edited by four eminent epidemiologists, this book consolidates, for the first time, a core of landmark articles on the evolution, scope and limitations, uses, and prospects of epidemiology. An outstanding feature of the book is the inclusion of the editors' assessments of the realm of epidemiology, where it is and where it should be going. It represents a useful tool for both students and practicing professionals and provides a much-needed frame of reference for reorienting the practice of epidemiology. The book is a collection of 91 articles, grouped in five parts. This article discusses about some of the effects that malnutrition in early childhood has on neurointegrative functioning (capacity to learn) through a detailed experimental and ecologic study. The relationship between malnutrition in early childhood and intersensory organization in children is examined. The article also compares the intersensory integrative development of children from urban and rural areas.Keywords: Epidemiology; Malnutrition; Children; Neurointegrative functioning; Capacity to learn; Physical stature; Rural village; Urban areas
