Part of a special issue dealing with the 16th Marabou symposium "Early Nutrition and Lifelong Health." Current thinking on the effect of early nutrition on the capacity for physical work in later life is reviewed. In the past 20 years, a number of important studies have taken into consideration the impact of acute nutrient deficiencies--generally protein and energy and iron--on capacity for physical work. Even without further investigation, these studies provide sufficient evidence to conclude that poor nutritional status in early childhood, as indicated by low dietary energy intakes and subsequent stunted growth, results in a multitude of undesirable functional consequences. These studies of physical work capacity, together with other measures such as cognitive functioning and reproductive performance, are strong evidence in support of policies and programs that are aimed at abolishing the causes of environmental stunting in poor populations.
