ABSTRACT
Anthropometric measurements, Somatic Quotient (SQ), Development Quotient (DQ), Motor Quotient (MoQ) and Mental Quotient (MeQ) in 136 children in the age group 1-24 months with varying degrees of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) were compared with an equal number of comparable well nourished children. There was a progressive reduction in SQ, DQ, MoQ and MeQ as the degree of PEM advanced. There was a direct linear correlation between SQ and DQ and between height and DQ in 4 degrees PEM. However, there was no direct correlation between head circumference and either DQ or MeQ.
