Abstract:
Background: Assessment of the overall nutritional status among children by CIAF is an important technique. For achieving the goal of sustainable development, CIAF stands concrete evidence of the real picture of undernutrition. The objective of the present study is to determine the total anthropometric failure among Juang children and adolescents. Material and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out among 237 (106 male and 131 female) Juang children and adolescents aged 1 to 17 years. Results: The prevalence of Underweight, Stunting and Underweight children are 5.91%, 6.33% and 4.22% respectively; and other combined anthropometric failures of Stunting and Underweight; Wasting and Underweight; and Underweight, Stunting and Wasting are 2.95%, 16.46% and 16.03% respectively. Conclusion: In the present study, the overall anthropometric failure is a very serious condition. Immediate intervention programmes based on food, and correct health awareness among parents may help to achieve the SDG goals for zero hunger.
