INTRODUCTION
Undernutrition is continuing to be a major public health problem in India. Moreover, India houses more than 30% of the world's stunted children aged under 5 years. There was a paucity of a community-based cross-sectional study on the nutrition of children aged under 5 years in urban Delhi. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess the prevalence of undernutrition and their associated factors in children aged under 5 years in urban South Delhi.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted in the Mehrauli area of South Delhi with a semi-structured questionnaire. Systematic random sampling without replacement was implemented. Informed written consent was sought from the parents of participants. Questions were asked regarding demography and sociocultural factors of the participants. Anthropometry measurements were obtained. Underweight and stunting were defined using WHO child growth standards 2006.
RESULTS
A total of 520 participants in 695 houses were contacted and interviewed. Prevalence of underweight and stunting were 34.0% and 42.6%, respectively. Sociocultural factors, associated with underweight and stunting, found in current study were fathers' education (with both, value < 0.05), mothers' education (with both, value < 0.05), poverty status (with both, value <0.05), overcrowding (stunting only, value <0.05), fathers' alcohol abuse (with both, value < 0.05) and exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (stunting only, value <0.05).

Sociocultural factors, associated with underweight and stunting, found in current study were fathers' education (with both, value < 0.05), mothers' education (with both, value < 0.05), poverty status (with both, value <0.05), overcrowding (stunting only, value <0.05), fathers' alcohol abuse (with both, value < 0.05) and exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (stunting only, value <0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
There was a very high prevalence of underweight (34.0%) and stunting (42.6%) in children under 5 years age in Mehrauli.
引言
营养不良仍然是印度的一个主要公共卫生问题。此外，全球5岁以下发育迟缓儿童中有超过30%生活在印度。关于德里市区5岁以下儿童营养状况的社区横断面研究较少。因此，我们开展了这项研究，以评估南德里市区5岁以下儿童营养不良的患病率及其相关因素。
材料与方法
在南德里的梅赫拉uli地区采用半结构化问卷进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究。实施了无放回的系统随机抽样。征求了参与者父母的知情书面同意。询问了有关参与者的人口统计学和社会文化因素的问题。进行了人体测量。根据世界卫生组织2006年儿童生长标准定义了体重不足和发育迟缓。
结果
共联系并采访了695户家庭中的520名参与者。体重不足和发育迟缓的患病率分别为34.0%和42.6%。在本研究中发现的与体重不足和发育迟缓相关的社会文化因素有父亲的教育程度（两者，P值<0.05）、母亲的教育程度（两者，P值<0.05）、贫困状况（两者，P值<0.05）、过度拥挤（仅发育迟缓，P值<0.05）、父亲酗酒（两者，P值<0.05）以及纯母乳喂养6个月（仅发育迟缓，P值<0.05）。
结论
梅赫拉uli地区5岁以下儿童中体重不足（34.0%）和发育迟缓（42.6%）的患病率非常高。
