Brain morphometry and diminished physical growth in Bangladeshi children growing up in extreme poverty: A longitudinal study

Diminished physical growth is a common marker of malnutrition and it affects approximately 200 million children worldwide. Despite its importance and prevalence, it is not clear whether diminished growth relates to brain development and general cognitive ability. Further, diminished growth is more c...
