(NFHS-3, 2005-06)2 provides clear evidence of the&#13;
poor state of nutrition among young children,&#13;
women, and men in India and the lack of progress&#13;
over time, based on measurements of height and&#13;
weight, anaemia testing, testing for the iodization&#13;
of household cooking salt, utilization of nutrition&#13;
programmes, and information on child feeding&#13;
practices and vitamin A supplementation. Young&#13;
children in India suffer from some of the highest&#13;
levels of stunting, underweight, and wasting&#13;
observed in any country in the world, and 7 out&#13;
of every 10 young children are anaemic.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Food and Nutrition</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
