ABSTRACT:
Childhood malnutrition levels are alarmingly high in developing countries as the risk of mortality increases with the severity of malnutrition about 20-25% of children die before reaching their first birthday (UNICEF, 2004). The present paper aims at assessment of nutritional status of Kamar (particularly vulnerable tribal groups) children of Chhattisgarh using z-score indicators based on child’s sex, weight, height, and age. 248 Kamar children aged 12-59 months comprising of 125 girls and 123 boys were selected purposively from two blocks viz Magarlod and Nagri of Dhamtari District, Chhattisgarh region of Central India. Measurements for the purpose were taken following standard Anthropometric techniques. The data has been entered in SPSS (version 16) and analyzed and the results have been discussed in the present paper.
