| dc.description.abstract | Development of nutrition Education Material to Overcome Protein Energy Malnutrition among Rural Children The present study was conducted with an objective to assess nutritional status of children and assessment to risk factors of PEM. The study was conducted at Mavli panchayat samiti of Udaipur district of Rajasthan. Five villages were seleted purposively from this panchayat samiti.A total of 80 children of 2-5 years, free from any kind of developmental disability were selected for the study. A self- structured interview schedule was used to collect the information. Nutritional status of the respondents was assessed using anthropometric measurements (height and weight), and dietary recall method. The data obtained was analyzed using frequency, per cent, mean per cent score, z test for single mean, It was found that majority of respondents were belonging to Hindu religion, had nuclear family belong to low socio- economic status and. 57.50 percent were vegetarian. The height and weight of respondents were lower than reference value. According to Waterlow classification, 88.75percent respondents fall in the category of severely wasted and 82.5 percent in severely stunted category. As per Gomez classification and BMI for age, 87.5 percent and 61.25 percent respondents were undernourished respectively. Fifty five percent mothers fed colostrum to their babies in the study area. Exclusive breast feeding was done by 37.50 per cent mothers at the time of the study. About 77 per cent were giving prelacteal feeds to their infants .Most common prelacteal feed given was janam ghutti . Ninety per cent of the mothers started complementary feeding to their children within 1year . The most common foods given to children were khichadi (26.25%), milk and biscuit (52.50%), bread (11.25%). The intake of pulses, roots and tubers, others vegetables green leafy vegetables, sugar and jiggery and fats and oils were significanty (p<0.05) lower than RDI .The intake of fats, B-caroten, iron, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin-C and carbohydrates content was significantly (p<0.05) lower than RDA except the intake of calcium which was found non-significant. On the Basis of research findings it can be concluded that majority of the respondents were undernourished and their food and nutrient intake was inadequate as compared to suggested values. The nutrition education program to mothers can help to improve nutrition status. E-material was developed on malnutrition to educate the rural women of the selected villages to create awareness among them. It was sham with mothers and observed that rural woman found it useful.
