Innovative techniques needed to extend nutrition services in urban areas, it says

Poor women in urban areas were shorter, thinner and more anaemic as compared to those from higher wealth categories, according to a new study which calls for policy initiatives to focus on urban poor women to curb malnutrition.

The research aims at determining the levels and trends of different forms of malnutrition among urban poor women and look beyond mere averages for the entire urban population, which paints a rosier picture. It has also resulted in a skewed focus on rural areas because averages show that urban estimates of nutritional status are better than rural. It analyses data from two rounds of the Demographic Health Survey conducted during 2005-2006 (DHS-3) and 2015-16 (DHS -4). The study comes at a time the government’s policy think-tank, NITI Aayog, is working on a paper to improve nutrition services in urban areas as part of the National Nutrition Mission.
