| dc.description.abstract | Urbanization and global change have an impact on the nutritional status of individuals and households in rural, periurbanand urban areas. Urbanization involves changes in occupation patterns, lifestyles, family structures,and value systems. The study aimed to assess consumption pattern, dietary diversification and nutritional status along rural-urban interface gradient in north Bengaluru. A total of 300 households were selected randomly for the study, 100 from each transect were studied. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess the socioeconomic status, consumption pattern and nutritional status of the households. Most of the households belonged to upper and middle socio-economic classes. Household percent expenditure on food was high among rural (68.48 %) followed by periurban (44.69 %)and urban (38.08 %).There was significant difference between the three areas in respect of purchasing pattern. Dietary diversity was observed among urban compared to periurban and rural households. Nutrient intake among women showed the mean energy intake and per cent adequacy against RDA was recorded to be higher among urban 2165±322 (114%) followed by periurban 1957±196 (103%) and rural 1731±216 (91%) women.In respect of BMI classification, majority of the urban men (69%) and women (65%) were found to be obese. Obese and overweight children were found in urban followed by periurban and rural areas. Consumption of energy yielding foods was found to be more than adequate among three study areas. Socio-economic status influenced the overall food choices and preferences. Prevalence of life style disorders positively correlated with socio-economic class and found significant among men | en_US |
