Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to assess the nutritional status of students aged 10–12 years studying in selected public schools in Mumbai. Using anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI-for-age Z-score, MUAC, waist-to-hip ratio), the study will evaluate the prevalence of undernutrition or overnutrition. It will also assess dietary patterns using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and 7-day Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS), physical activity using the IPAQ-Short Form, and socioeconomic background using Kuppuswamy’s scale. The results will help identify gaps and guide future interventions for improving child nutrition in public schools.
