Extract: Assessments of dietary intake, intelligence, physical growth, and clinical signs of malnutrition were made on 600 children from poor and less poor families in five Philippine communities. Dietary staples were rice, fish, corn, coconuts, and sweet potatoes, respectively, at the five sites. Analysis of variance indicated marked differences among communities in nutrient intake based on 24 hr recall, in intellectual and anthropometric measures and in clinical signs of malnutrition. There were positive correlations of approximately 0.20 between intake of calories and carbohydrates and intelligence; between calories and carbohydrates and anthropometric measures; and between intelligence and anthropometric measures.
