&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stunting among children below five did not improve at all; child obesity increased across several states&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Chronic malnutrition or stunting among children below five years did not improve at all while acute undernourishment or wasting worsened in the last half-a-decade in a majority of the surveyed states and Union territories (UT), according to the latest round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Child obesity also increased in several states. The survey, in its first phase, collected data from 22 states and UTs for 2019-20.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The percentage of children below five that are stunted (short for their age) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) norms, has not shown any significant improvement since 2015 in all surveyed states and UTs except Bihar and Manipur where the decline was nominal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The most significant increase in stunting was found in Tripura and Telangana. While each of the surveyed states and UTs reported 22 per cent or more stunted children, Meghalaya and Bihar topped the charts with more than 40 per cent children stunted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;More than half the surveyed states reported every third child below five suffering from chronic malnourishment. Though the prevalence in Kerala was the lowest after Sikkim, the state saw marginal increase of 3.5 percentage points in the last five years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The prevalence was greater in rural areas than urban across all surveyed territories, except in Jammu and Kashmir. Every second child of the age group was stunted in rural Meghalaya. Majority districts of Bihar and Meghalaya and a few districts of Gujarat were the worst performers.&lt;/p&gt;

Acute malnutrition worsened among children: NFHS-5 -Ritankar Chakraborty, Devikrishna NB, Alka Chauhan and Nand Lal Mishra

-Down to Earth Stunting among children below five did not improve at all; child obesity increased across several states Chronic malnutrition or stunting among children below five years did not improve at all while acute undernourishment or wasting worsened in the last half-a-decade in a majority of the surveyed states and Union territories (UT), according to the latest round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5). Child obesity also increased in several states. The survey, in its first phase, collected data from 22 states and UTs for 2019-20. The percentage of children below five that are stunted (short for their age) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) norms, has not shown any significant improvement since 2015 in all surveyed states and UTs except Bihar and Manipur where the decline was nominal. The most significant increase in stunting was found in Tripura and Telangana. While each of the surveyed states and UTs reported 22 per cent or more stunted children, Meghalaya and Bihar topped the charts with more than 40 per cent children stunted. More than half the surveyed states reported every third child below five suffering from chronic malnourishment. Though the prevalence in Kerala was the lowest after Sikkim, the state saw marginal increase of 3.5 percentage points in the last five years. The prevalence was greater in rural areas than urban across all surveyed territories, except in Jammu and Kashmir. Every second child of the age group was stunted in rural Meghalaya. Majority districts of Bihar and Meghalaya and a few districts of Gujarat were the worst performers. Please click here to read more.
