Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the nutritional status i.e., socio economic profile, mean daily food intake, nutrient intake and adequacy of food and nutrient intake among preschool children of 3 years (n=92) of Rewari district of Haryana. The data revealed that mean food intake and nutrient intake were comparatively less than the RDA. The adequacy of food and nutrient intake was also lower than the recommended values.
