The data contains data on the nutrition and health status of children under the age of 5 years. The nutrition and health status of a child can be a direct indicator of the wellbeing and poverty status of
the household. It further reflects on the community’s nutritional status and is also widely regarded as an important basic indicator of welfare in an economy. Optimal nutrition is a prerequisite for national
development of any given country as well as improvement of individual welfare. Although problems related to poor nutrition affect the entire population, women and children are especially vulnerable
because of their unique physiology and socio-economic characteristics. Adequate nutrition is critical to children’s growth and development. The period from birth to age 2 is especially important for optimal
all round and balanced growth and health development of the child. Unfortunately, this period is often
marked by macro and micronutrient deficiencies that interfere with optimal growth.
Specific issues discussed in this chapter include child nutrition based on anthropometric measurements,
infant and young child feeding practices, and immunisation.
