Prevalence and Determinants of Undernutrition in Under-Five Children in Urban Slums of Tripura, India
The burden of undernutrition in under-five children in urban poor settlements was comparable to that in the general population of Tripura. Higher educational status of the mother and use of clean fuel (liquefied petroleum gas) were protective against adverse nutritional status (wasting and underweight) in the children.
