Objective: To assess the nutritional status of children 6 to 59 months of age in nontribal and tribal areas of Raigad district Methodology: A representative sample of children 6 to 59 months of age was randomly selected with a validated multistage clustered design. The sample was stratified according to place of residence (nontribal and tribal area) locality and size of locality (number of households). A cross- sectional survey of nutritional status was carried out. Data were collected by interviews with the primary caregivers of the children. Measurements were made of children's weight and height or length. Food-intake data were collected by the 24-hour food-recall method with the use of a booklet of photographs of foods commonly eaten in India. Results: A total of 1008 children were assessed, of which 97 had severe acute malnutrition, 286 had moderate acute malnutrition. Out of286 children studied, locality and maternal education were significantly associated with acute malnutrition whereas infants 6 to 23 months of age were significantly at risk. Calorie and protein intakes were generally lower than recommended dietary allowances. Conclusion: Maternal education and provision of food education in selected areas is needed to make aware dietary impact.
