In every community, mothers and children are among the groups that are vulnerable to disease, disability and death. In recent years, there has been a remarkable upsurge of interest in the health and nutritional problems of women in the country. One of the major factors determining nutritional status of any community is food consumption. The study was conducted on 60 rural women from Bihar from two villages of Pusa block, Samastipur. The study was conducted to assess nutritional status of the respondents. The major findings of the study were that cereals and ischolar_mains and tubers form the main diet of the respondents. Adequacy of cereals (131.36%) and ischolar_mains and tubers (115.0%) is more than the RDA for the respondents of Birauli Khurd whereas for the respondents of Morsand Bahadura for cereals it was 127.33 per cent and ischolar_mains and tubers 75.3 per cent of the RDA. The adequacy of energy and carbohydrate intake of the women of Birauli Khurd was more than that of the Morasand Bahadur while adequacy of other nutrients like protein, visible fat and total fat of the women of Morsand Bhadura was more than that of Birauli Khurd.Keywords

Anthropometric measurement of an individual is the best parameter to assess nutritional status at the individual level. The study was conducted on 60 rural women from Bihar from two villages of Pusa block, Samastipur to assess anthropometric status of the respondents as indicator of their nutritional status. Mean age of the respondents of village Birauli Khurd is 30.37 and of village Morsand Bahadura is 30.80 years. 63.33 per cent of the respondents from Birauli Khurd and 50.0 per cent of the respondents from Morsand Bahadura became mother at less than 19 years of age. Mean height of the respondents of both the villages was 148 cm each. Their mean height was 90.24 per cent of the NCHS Standard. Mean weight of the respondents of Birauli Khurd was only 76.06 per cent of the NCHS Standard while that of Morsand Bahadura was only 74.67 per cent of the NCHS Standard. Majority of the respondents (53.33%) from Birauli Khurd had BMI between 18.0- 25.0 which is the normal range as classified by James et al. (1988). Majority of the respondents (60.0%) of Morsand Bahadura had a normal BMI in the range of 18.0- 25.0.Keywords
