Is there any relation between nutrition and head growth?

I really need to know. Do people with bad nutrition and diet tend to have bigger head?How does nutrition effect head growth?
Thanks.

Um…no. The size of your head/skull is determined from birth. Your skull will never get bigger than it’s supposed to be (ie, once you stop growing). Therefore, it stands to reason that poor nutrition will not make your head bigger.

In fact, poor diet can have the opposite effect, since your bones will not be getting the nutrients they need to continue growing. If you have a serious nutrition deficiency, it’s possible that your skull will not grow to it’s maximum size.
