Assessing the Impact of Socioeconomic and Environmental Factors on the Body Mass Index of Children Aged 3–6 Years: A Cross-Sectional Study in Assam, India

This study emphasizes the importance of gender, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status as major determinants of nutritional health among children in Assam. Such findings highlight the need for more targeted interventions that may help reduce such influence, hence improving child health in the region. The fact that living area density does not correlate with BMI suggests that future policy efforts may be made more useful when focusing on the quality of the socio-economic environment rather than on features of the physical location of living areas.
