Background: A double burden of malnutrition in children, in the form of undernutrition and obesity exists in our world. Poverty and various other sociocultural factors act as important determinants of malnutrition. There exist varying prevalence rates in different places. Under nutrition has also a role in dental caries. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence of malnutrition and dental caries among children going to Anganwadi’s in rural Sullia taluk of Karnataka. Methods: Line listing of Anganwadi children was done and by random sampling method, 205 children were selected for study. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements and dental examination done according to WHO standards. Results: The prevalence of underweight, wasting and stunting were 27%, 11% and 40% respectively. 49% of children studied had dental caries. Conclusions: According to the classification for assessing severity of malnutrition by prevalence ranges among children, the study area is classified as a high prevalence area for malnutrition according to WHO. Dental caries was present in 49.27% of the children.

“…Under-nutrition is the issue of concern among under-5 children in terms of morbidity and mortality as it is causing as high (175/1000) deaths in low income countries compared to high income countries (6/1000 deaths). 1,2 Under nutrition places children at an increased risk of impaired physical and mental growth, poor socio-emotional development due to deficiencies of micro and macro nutrients like protein, iodine, iron and vitamin A. Hence, the nutrition status of under -5 children is important.…”

Abstract:Minor millets comprise a group of cereal species that are genetically diverse and adapted to a range of marginal growing conditions where major cereals such as wheat, rice, and maize are relatively unsuccessful. Millets require few inputs and withstand severe biotic and abiotic stresses. They are also more nutritious than major cereals. Despite these advantages, neglect in several arenas has resulted in a steady decline in the cultivation of minor millets in India over the past few decades. As part of a United Nations global project on underutilized species, we undertook action research intended to stem the decline in cultivation and enhance the conservation and use of minor millets in 753 households spread across 34 villages in four states of India. Our aim was to improve incomes, nutritional status, and empowerment, especially for women. Overall, our holistic approach to mainstreaming species such as finger millet, little millet, foxtail millet, and barnyard millet indicates that these neglected and underutilized species can play a strategic role in improving many dimensions of livelihoods.
