Purpose.
To determine the nutritional status (underweight and overweight) among Meitei children and adolescents.
Methods.
Cross-sectional data on 854 subjects (384 boys and 470 girls) were collected during the months of May 2009 to August 2009 following house-to-house survey.
An anthropometric rod and a weighing scale were used to measure height and weight.
The presence of underweight and overweight has been evaluated using the international cutoff points for children and adolescents.
MS-Excel software was used for all statistical analyses.
Results.
A high prevalence of underweight (30.21%) and overweight (3.12%) in the present study was found among children and adolescent boys, respectively.
Among girls, the prevalence of both underweight (33.86%) and overweight (5.18%) was reported higher among children than adolescents, and the differences in the distribution were significant at 0.05 levels.
The overall prevalence of underweight (28.29%) was found more or less the same among boys and girls, but overweight (5.10%) was reported higher among girls than boys (2.34%).
Conclusion.
The possible reasons for both forms of malnutrition among Meitei children and adolescents could be traced through poverty, low dietary intake, socioeconomic condition, nutrition transition, and changing lifestyles.
The other possible reasons could be due to peer pressure, eating habits, or emotional factor.
