Abstract

Nutrition is a basic need for children and pregnant women; if a child is born malnourished s/he might not be the good asset for a country. We tried to assess the co relationship between nutritional intake and anthropometry among under five children. Purposively selected 100 mothers having under five children were interviewed for the study by using pretested questionnaire. The prevalence of malnutrition was found to be 43%. Majority of mothers had hygiene practice of hand washing during and after feeding their children. The study concludes that the nutrition status was unsatisfactory among under five children.
