Dr. Meena Mehta

Abstract :

Building a child health with various nutritional aspects is of prime importance in India. The country is diversified with respect to different regional states following different traditions, customs and eating habits. The choice of food is influenced by differences in environment, differences in availability of raw food and various other social factors. These differences affect the individuals’ nutrient intake, which in turn is related to various anthropometric parameters particularly amongst the growing children. A project was designed to study these factors for the children of the age group 2-15 yrs. Large number of school going children were made target for the study and proper survey was conducted. The data on various nutritional aspects were summarized and a relationship between health status and activity of the child was developed amongst these terms.
