&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Acute malnutrition in preschool children increased in 341 out of 707 districts across 36 states and UTs between 2016 and 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt; of district-level data published in a reputed health journal shows a worrying rise in severe wasting in almost half of Indian districts even as the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 showed only an overall marginal increase in levels of severe acute malnutrition among children in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, titled &amp;lsquo;Acute level of severe malnutrition in Indian districts&amp;rsquo;, between 2016 and 2021, severe wasting, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in preschool children (aged 0-59 months) increased in 341 districts out of 707 across 36 states and Union Territories.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, done by Sabu Kochupurackal Ulahannan, Alby Wilson, Deepshikha Chhetri, Biju Soman and NS Prashanth, was published by BMJ Global Health, an online peer-reviewed journal that publishes all aspects of global health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; is based on the study of district-level data of NFHS-5. &amp;ldquo;Although the prevalence trend in SAM between NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 shows an almost stagnant position at the national level, the national average hides the worsening of SAM at several individual districts due to the improvement in other districts,&amp;rdquo; the analysis states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Between NFHS-4 (2015-2016) and NFHS-5, the overall increase in severe acute malnourishment was a marginal 0.2%. In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades. It was 6.6% in 2005-2006, as per NFHS-4 data. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the latest NFHS, Assam&amp;rsquo;s Karimganj district reported the highest increase (24.4%) and most critical level (30.5%) of SAM. Other districts with critical and increased levels are Dang (22.2%), Gujarat; Sheohar (21.4%), Bihar; Saraikela Kharsawan (23%), Jharkhand; Chandrapur (21.8%) and Nagpur (20%), Maharashtra; and Panchmahal (19.4%), Gujarat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The paper further identifies as many as 115 districts where levels of SAM have increased manifold. These districts include Ranchi, Kolkata, Darjeeling, Pune, Aurangabad, Khargone, Ajmer and Saharanpur, among several others. Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;rsquo;s constituency Varanasi and Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s chief minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s constituency Gorakhpur also reported an alarming level of increase in severe wasting levels. Maharashtra had the most number of districts, 16, with high and increased levels, followed by Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (both 14), Madhya Pradesh (10), and Bihar(9).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Acute malnutrition in preschool children increased in 341 out of 707 districts across 36 states and UTs between 2016 and 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt; of district-level data published in a reputed health journal shows a worrying rise in severe wasting in almost half of Indian districts even as the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 showed only an overall marginal increase in levels of severe acute malnutrition among children in the country.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, titled &amp;lsquo;Acute level of severe malnutrition in Indian districts&amp;rsquo;, between 2016 and 2021, severe wasting, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in preschool children (aged 0-59 months) increased in 341 districts out of 707 across 36 states and Union Territories.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, done by Sabu Kochupurackal Ulahannan, Alby Wilson, Deepshikha Chhetri, Biju Soman and NS Prashanth, was published by BMJ Global Health, an online peer-reviewed journal that publishes all aspects of global health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; is based on the study of district-level data of NFHS-5. &amp;ldquo;Although the prevalence trend in SAM between NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 shows an almost stagnant position at the national level, the national average hides the worsening of SAM at several individual districts due to the improvement in other districts,&amp;rdquo; the analysis states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Between NFHS-4 (2015-2016) and NFHS-5, the overall increase in severe acute malnourishment was a marginal 0.2%. In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades. It was 6.6% in 2005-2006, as per NFHS-4 data. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the latest NFHS, Assam&amp;rsquo;s Karimganj district reported the highest increase (24.4%) and most critical level (30.5%) of SAM. Other districts with critical and increased levels are Dang (22.2%), Gujarat; Sheohar (21.4%), Bihar; Saraikela Kharsawan (23%), Jharkhand; Chandrapur (21.8%) and Nagpur (20%), Maharashtra; and Panchmahal (19.4%), Gujarat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The paper further identifies as many as 115 districts where levels of SAM have increased manifold. These districts include Ranchi, Kolkata, Darjeeling, Pune, Aurangabad, Khargone, Ajmer and Saharanpur, among several others. Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;rsquo;s constituency Varanasi and Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s chief minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s constituency Gorakhpur also reported an alarming level of increase in severe wasting levels. Maharashtra had the most number of districts, 16, with high and increased levels, followed by Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (both 14), Madhya Pradesh (10), and Bihar(9).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;analysis&lt;/a&gt;, titled &amp;lsquo;Acute level of severe malnutrition in Indian districts&amp;rsquo;, between 2016 and 2021, severe wasting, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in preschool children (aged 0-59 months) increased in 341 districts out of 707 across 36 states and Union Territories.&lt;/p&gt;

In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798&quot;&gt;paper&lt;/a&gt; is based on the study of district-level data of NFHS-5. &amp;ldquo;Although the prevalence trend in SAM between NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 shows an almost stagnant position at the national level, the national average hides the worsening of SAM at several individual districts due to the improvement in other districts,&amp;rdquo; the analysis states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Between NFHS-4 (2015-2016) and NFHS-5, the overall increase in severe acute malnourishment was a marginal 0.2%. In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades. It was 6.6% in 2005-2006, as per NFHS-4 data. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the latest NFHS, Assam&amp;rsquo;s Karimganj district reported the highest increase (24.4%) and most critical level (30.5%) of SAM. Other districts with critical and increased levels are Dang (22.2%), Gujarat; Sheohar (21.4%), Bihar; Saraikela Kharsawan (23%), Jharkhand; Chandrapur (21.8%) and Nagpur (20%), Maharashtra; and Panchmahal (19.4%), Gujarat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The paper further identifies as many as 115 districts where levels of SAM have increased manifold. These districts include Ranchi, Kolkata, Darjeeling, Pune, Aurangabad, Khargone, Ajmer and Saharanpur, among several others. Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;rsquo;s constituency Varanasi and Uttar Pradesh&amp;rsquo;s chief minister Yogi Adityanath&amp;rsquo;s constituency Gorakhpur also reported an alarming level of increase in severe wasting levels. Maharashtra had the most number of districts, 16, with high and increased levels, followed by Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (both 14), Madhya Pradesh (10), and Bihar(9).&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify">An <a href="https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798">analysis</a> of district-level data published in a reputed health journal shows a worrying rise in severe wasting in almost half of Indian districts even as the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 showed only an overall marginal increase in levels of severe acute malnutrition among children in the country.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">According to the <a href="https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798">analysis</a>, titled &lsquo;Acute level of severe malnutrition in Indian districts&rsquo;, between 2016 and 2021, severe wasting, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in preschool children (aged 0-59 months) increased in 341 districts out of 707 across 36 states and Union Territories.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The <a href="https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/4/e007798">paper</a> is based on the study of district-level data of NFHS-5. &ldquo;Although the prevalence trend in SAM between NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 shows an almost stagnant position at the national level, the national average hides the worsening of SAM at several individual districts due to the improvement in other districts,&rdquo; the analysis states.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Between NFHS-4 (2015-2016) and NFHS-5, the overall increase in severe acute malnourishment was a marginal 0.2%. In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades. It was 6.6% in 2005-2006, as per NFHS-4 data. &nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">In the latest NFHS, Assam&rsquo;s Karimganj district reported the highest increase (24.4%) and most critical level (30.5%) of SAM.

Study Finds Severe Malnutrition Spiked in Half of India in 5 Years -Priyanka Ishwari

-Newsclick.in Acute malnutrition in preschool children increased in 341 out of 707 districts across 36 states and UTs between 2016 and 2021. An analysis of district-level data published in a reputed health journal shows a worrying rise in severe wasting in almost half of Indian districts even as the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-5 showed only an overall marginal increase in levels of severe acute malnutrition among children in the country. According to the analysis, titled ‘Acute level of severe malnutrition in Indian districts’, between 2016 and 2021, severe wasting, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in preschool children (aged 0-59 months) increased in 341 districts out of 707 across 36 states and Union Territories. The analysis, done by Sabu Kochupurackal Ulahannan, Alby Wilson, Deepshikha Chhetri, Biju Soman and NS Prashanth, was published by BMJ Global Health, an online peer-reviewed journal that publishes all aspects of global health. The paper is based on the study of district-level data of NFHS-5. “Although the prevalence trend in SAM between NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 shows an almost stagnant position at the national level, the national average hides the worsening of SAM at several individual districts due to the improvement in other districts,” the analysis states. Between NFHS-4 (2015-2016) and NFHS-5, the overall increase in severe acute malnourishment was a marginal 0.2%. In 2015-2016, the level of SAM was 7.5%, which increased to 7.7% in 2019-2021. The level of severe wasting among kids has been on a consistent rise in the last two decades. It was 6.6% in 2005-2006, as per NFHS-4 data.   In the latest NFHS, Assam’s Karimganj district reported the highest increase (24.4%) and most critical level (30.5%) of SAM. Other districts with critical and increased levels are Dang (22.2%), Gujarat; Sheohar (21.4%), Bihar; Saraikela Kharsawan (23%), Jharkhand; Chandrapur (21.8%) and Nagpur (20%), Maharashtra; and Panchmahal (19.4%), Gujarat.  The paper further identifies as many as 115 districts where levels of SAM have increased manifold. These districts include Ranchi, Kolkata, Darjeeling, Pune, Aurangabad, Khargone, Ajmer and Saharanpur, among several others. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency Varanasi and Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s constituency Gorakhpur also reported an alarming level of increase in severe wasting levels. Maharashtra had the most number of districts, 16, with high and increased levels, followed by Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh (both 14), Madhya Pradesh (10), and Bihar(9). Please click here to read more.
