The world is at present passing through an epidemiological transition with the rate of growth of elderly population exceeding the general population. By the year 2001, India will have the second highest population of elderly in the world with an absolute number of 76 million. The state with highest proportion of elderly in India is Kerala where the elderly constitute approximately 9.79 per cent of total population. Industrialization and urbanization together with the migration of the younger generation abroad has severe impact on the Indian society, with the care of the aged having emerged as a pressing social problem. To an extent, old age homes have filled this need. Kerala has the largest number of homes for the aged. A sharp contrast of environments was perceived to be existing in two types of institutional settings - those with free facilities, which are government aided and those having pay and stay facilities run by private undertakers. The study was an attempt to compare nutritional status of inmates of these two kinds of institutions.- Preference for Food Distribution and Food Beliefs among Women under Special Conditions in Sericulture House Holds

Karnataka has a pride place in mulberry silk production and is the leading centre for traditional sericulture in India. Karnataka's pioneering efforts in expanding sericulture industry with the World Bank's assistance has motivated considerable number of farmers to take-up sericulture. Among all the subsidiary occupations, sericulture occupies an enviable position from the point of providing additional income. It is estimated that sericulture fetches about Rs. 5,000/acre as against cash crops like sugarcane and potato where the net income is only Rs. 3,000. Status of food distribution among households of sericulture is poor in relation to their nutritional requirements. The situation is strongly supported by the food beliefs among the women folk of the enterprise. Looking into these facts, the present study was undertaken to understand the food distribution order and food beliefs of sericulture households in Bangalore rural district.- Book Review

Good nutrition is an indispensable component of healthy life. It is the common denominator for healthy growth of mind and body. The nutritional status of a country on a macro level, and in different strata of the population on micro level, depends on the growth of population, production and distribution of foods, nutrition knowledge of the population, purchasing power of the masses, and various other socioeconomic factors. With a population of over 844 million, of whom about 30 per cent live below poverty line, and 49 per cent are illiterate, the nutrition problems faced are multidimensional.- Nutritional Status and Biochemical Profile of Alcoholics and Patients with Cardiac Ailments
