Abstract:
In order to determine the nutritional status of school children, 2585 students were examined clinically and a diet survey was carried out on a subsample of 200 children. Severe undernourishment, wasting and stunting were encountered in 8.93%, 0.90% and 1.35% of girls as against 8.78%, 0.32% and 1.20% of boys respectively. In girls, dietary inadequacy was more pronounced and signs of nutritional disorders were more frequent. Such a finding is a pointer towards disparity in nutrition.
