  3. Nutrition Situation of various States of India INDIA Gujarat 45 % Children (<5 Yrs) of Gujarat are underweight. National Family Health Survey-3, 2005 – 06,Gujarat

  4. Nutrition Situation in Gujarat • 45% U5 underweight • 50% Breastfed in 1st hr *** • 45% Exclusively breastfed ** • 56% Initiate Complementary feeding - 6-9 months *** • 24% Get adequate Proteins & Calories* • 80% Anaemic (6-35 m) • 56% HHs use Iodized salt • 56% Vit A supplement** NFHS 2005-2006 * NNMB (ICMR) ** DLHS – 2008 ***CES, Unicef - 2009 DLHS-2, 2002-04

  5. Types of Malnutrition Underweight- A composite measure Low Weight for Age Stunting- An indicator of past growth failure Low Height for Age Wasting- Current or Acute malnutrition Low Weight for Height Micronutrient deficiencies- Iron(Anaemia), Iodine (Hypothyroidism, Cretinism-Mental retardation), Vit-A (Night Blindness)

  6. Nutrition Status in Gujarat Source:- NFHS- 3 (2005-06) Weight for Age criteria Weight for Height criteria 55.4% 55.4% Normal % Normal % [Green] SUW/ MUW 44.6% 28.3% 25.9% Moderate Under Weight % [Yellow] Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) % 18.7% 12.9% 16.3% Severe Under Weight % (Red) 5.8% Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) % Underweight (%) Wasting (%)

  7. Nutrition Status (Hungama Report- 2011) As per the data of 100 focus districts of six states Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh Weight for Age criteria Weight for Height criteria 57.7% 57.7% Normal % Normal % [Green] SUW/ MUW 42.3% 25.9% 30.9% Moderate Under weight % [Yellow] Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) % 11.4% 8.1% 16.4% Severe Underweight % (Red) 3.3% Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) % Underweight (%) Wasting (%)
