Background: Under nutrition is a global public health problem. There are numerous methods of assessment of malnutrition among which CIAF is the most recent, relatively robust since it envisages all the parameters for estimation of nutritional status of the children. So, this study was conducted to find the rates of composite index of anthropometric failure in the children attending the Immunoprophylaxis clinic in a tertiary care hospital of Nagpur and to find associations with the socio demographic variables.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Immunoprophylaxis clinic of a tertiary care institute in Nagpur from September 2016 to January 2017. The study subjects were the children attending the OPD of Immunoprophylaxis clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Necessary permissions were taken before the start of the study. Data was collected using pretested and pre-designed questionnaire. Height and weight were measured using standard guidelines and categorized into groups of CIAF as described by Nandy et al.Results: A total of 460 study subjects were enrolled in the study. The mean age group of the study subjects was 2.47±1.56 years. According to the grades of CIAF, 48.51% were having no failure. Age and gender were factors which were associated with failure status by CIAF.Conclusions: We found high rates of anthropometric failure in our study. The age groups less than 3 years had higher odds of being in failure when compared to more than 3 years age. Further, males had higher odds of being into failure when compared to females. Community based studies are recommended.

“…A study by GC mandal et al, showed 71.7% CIAF which is higher compared to current study while prevalence of Underweight was found to be 60.9% [13]. A cross sectional study conducted in Bankura, West Bengal, S Shit et al, showed 78.1% CIAF among Toddlers higher compared to current study while Underweight were only 38.5% which is lesser compared to that of current study [14]. Even in study by S das et al, Underweight (41.25%) was found to be lesser than CIAF (48.3%) and the margin was found to be lesser compared to other studies and the current one as well [15].…”

“…1,17,18 In the current study, children who were from less educated mother and with more number of siblings were more likely to have anthropometric failure, Shit et al, Purohit et al, Maharashtra also observed similar findings regarding education level of mother and number of siblings in the family. 19,20 In the present study, malnutrition was more among females than males, among Muslims than Hindus, among children of low socioeconomic status groups, among children of less educated mothers and among those children who were not exclusively breastfed. The study strongly points toward the importance of proper infant feeding practices, proper nutrition, maternal education, and improved living conditions for reducing malnutrition among under-five children.…”

INTRODUCTIONUnder-five children constitute the most vulnerable segment of any community. Their nutritional status is a sensitive indicator of community health and nutrition. Any major deviation in the nutrient intake, either in quality or in quantity from its requirement can affect growth in many ways. 1 Malnutrition among under-five children is an important public health problem in developing countries, and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in India. 2 Scarcity of suitable food, lack of purchasing power of the family, poor personal hygiene, inadequate knowledge regarding what the baby should ABSTRACT Background: Malnutrition among under-five children is an important public health problem in developing countries, and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in India, hence the present study was conducted to find out the nutritional status of under-five children and to elicit the factors associated with it. Methods: This community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 142 under-five children during May to June 2017 in the areas under the jurisdiction of Nasibpur Primary Health Centre, Singur, West Bengal, India. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, feeding habits and other biological factors were obtained from structured questionnaire, followed by anthropometric measurement. Assessment of nutritional status of the children was done with the help of Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were performed to analyse the data by using SPSS version 16.0. Results: The mean (standard deviation) age of the sample was 28.4 (±15.2) months. About 36.1% children were found to have anthropometric failure using CIAF (wasting only 2.1%, wasting and underweight 14.5%, wasting, stunting and underweight 5.5%, stunting and underweight 6.3%, stunting only 4.9%, underweight only 2.8%). Education of mother [AOR = 3.6 (1.2-10.8)], birth order [AOR = 3.7 (1.4-9.9)], and exclusive breast feeding practice [AOR = 7.3 (2.9-18.1)] remained the significant correlates when adjusted with other variables in the multivariable analysis. Conclusions:The high prevalence of malnutrition in the community requires multipronged approach regarding nutritional education, intensive information education and communication (IEC) activities for exclusive breast feeding through antenatal clinics and adoption of family planning methods.
