18 villages of Jaipur district.
941 adolescent girls of age 10-18 yr.
Anthropometric measurements for height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference, triceps skin fold and chest circumference; 24 h recall method to assess nutrient intake. Nutrient intake was compared with Indian Council of Medical Research recommended dietary allowances.
The diets were deficient in calories by 26 to 36%, and in proteins by 23 to 32%. Nutritional status as assessed by body mass index revealed that 8.1% of adolescent girls suffered from chronic energy deficiency (CED) grade I, 6.6% grade II CED, and 78.8% grade III CED.
