Body weight has been used for a long time as an index of protein energy malnutrition. Attempts have been made to use arm or calf circumference and indices like weight for height (%) and weight/height' in place of body weight for evaluation of nutritional status, Some of the studies have shown that combination of height with weight for height or weight/height or circumference of arm or calf, would be better for assessment of various forms of clinical malnuturition and [growth retardation. Such studies on the children of Rajasthan and other northern parts of India have been very limited. In the present study using the data available on Rajasthani preschool children, an attempt has been made to assess whether a combination of anthropometric measurements or indices, is better for evaluation of various grades of undernutrition based on body weight.- Association of Growth Status and Mental Function in Pre-School Children

There have been several investigations to study the extent of growth retardation. Recently emphasis has been extended towards a new concept of functional significance of various grades of growth retardation. Among the functions studied, bactericidal activity was affected in children with 30 per cent deficit of body weight, while other immunological mechanisms like cell mediated immunity were intact at this level. These later functions were altered only when the body weight deficit was about 40 per cent i. e. when the growth retardation was very severed Intestinal absorption of xylose and fat also followed the same pattern.- Nutritional Status of Preschool Children and the Associated Factors
