Change detection and prevalence of child undernutrition among the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states of India were studied using National Family Health Survey-4 and 5 data. The results identified that the prevalence of undernutrition in most of the EAG states is still more than 30%. Although stunting and underweight have decreased in all EAG states, this pattern is higher than that of the national level but the prevalence of wasting has only increased in Bihar. Strengthening public health initiatives and collaborative endeavor between organizations, enhancing mother's education, increasing awareness, and raising the economic as well as sociopolitical empowerment of mothers are essential for addressing the undernutrition issue.
利用国家家庭健康调查 4 期和 5 期的数据，研究了印度赋权行动小组（EAG）各州的变化检测和儿童营养不足的流行情况。结果表明，大多数 EAG 州的营养不足患病率仍高于 30%。尽管所有 EAG 州的发育迟缓率和体重不足率都有所下降，但这种模式高于全国水平，但只有在比哈尔邦，消瘦的患病率才有所上升。加强公共卫生倡议和组织间的合作努力，提高母亲的教育水平，增强意识，提高母亲的经济和社会政治赋权，对于解决营养不足问题至关重要。
