ABSTRACT:
The present study was attempted to evaluate the overall prevalence of undernutrition using composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF) among Kamar children of Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh. There is an association between increasing severity of malnutrition to child mortality. Chhattisgarh state has a persistent child malnutrition rate of around 52.9% and rank high on nutrition insecurity. Kamar which is one of the most vulnerable tribal groups of Chhattisgarh region needs special concern. Three internationally recommended indicators commonly used viz. child stunting, underweight and wasting were taken into consideration for the present study. The data for the present study were collected from predominantly Kamar inhabited 198 villages Nagri and Magarlod block of Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh state. Standard techniques were followed for taking the anthropometric measurements.
