Description
Rohel Sk and Nasrin Banu present a 2026 analysis of child malnutrition across India using a national family health survey from 2019 to 2021. Stunting, wasting, and underweight remain serious problems for children under five. The study maps which factors and regions carry the highest burden.
Stunting was the most common of the three problems. Child age, sex, birth size, and the mother body mass and work status stood out as predictors. Children aged two to three years faced the highest risk. Girls were less likely to be malnourished than boys. Children of underweight mothers and poorer households fared worse. Mapping showed western, eastern, and central zones as hot spots needing joint action.
