Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Worldwide malnutrition is identified as a major health and nutrition problem. Undernutrition contributes to an estimated 45% of child deaths globally. The prevalence of underweight among children in India is among the highest in the world. Our children also bear a tremendous double burden of malnutrition.
UNASSIGNED: To find out the prevalence and determinants of malnutrition among six months to three-year-old children in the rural community of Northern India.
UNASSIGNED: A community-based cross-sectional study conducted among children aged six months to three years in a rural area of Ludhiana district, Methods and Material: A total of 662 children in the age group of six months to three years from a population of 30,000 were identified and included in the study. All the relevant information regarding these children was collected from family folders. Socioeconomic status was assessed using the modified Udai Pareek scale (MUP).
UNASSIGNED: The data collected was entered in MS Excel and was analyzed using SPSS version 26 and WHO Anthro Survey Analyzer.
UNASSIGNED: Out of 662 children, 16% were underweight. Almost 50% of the children in the two-three years category were underweight. The prevalence of stunting in the study population was 20.7% and that of overweight was 4.8%. The prevalence of underweight was higher in children of low socioeconomic status than in children from upper socioeconomic status (P = 0.000). There was a significant association between birth order and increasing cases of underweight (P = 0.000).
UNASSIGNED: The causes of malnutrition in children are complex and involve multiple factors. There is a need for vigorous monitoring for early detection of malnutrition for children aged two-three years. The improvement of maternal education will improve the nutritional status of the child.

摘要：
全球营养不良被认为是一个主要的健康和营养问题。营养不良导致全球约45%的儿童死亡。印度儿童体重不足的患病率是世界上最高的。我们的儿童还承受着营养不良的双重负担。
■了解印度北部农村社区六个月至三岁儿童营养不良的患病率和决定因素。
■一项针对Ludhiana地区农村地区6个月至3岁儿童的社区横断面研究，方法和材料：从30,000名人口中确定了6个月至3岁年龄段的662名儿童，并将其纳入研究。关于这些孩子的所有相关信息都是从家庭文件夹中收集的。使用改良的UdaiPareek量表（MUP）评估社会经济地位。
■将收集的数据输入MSExcel中，并使用SPSS版本26和WHOAnthroSurveyAnalyzer进行分析。
■在662名儿童中，16%体重不足。2-3岁类别中几乎50％的儿童体重不足。研究人群中发育迟缓的患病率为20.7％，超重的患病率为4.8％。低社会经济地位儿童体重不足的患病率高于高社会经济地位儿童(P=0.000)。出生顺序与体重不足病例增加之间存在显着关联（P=0.000）。
■儿童营养不良的原因是复杂的，涉及多种因素。需要大力监测，以便及早发现2-3岁儿童的营养不良情况。孕产妇教育的改善将改善儿童的营养状况。
