Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 33
Abstract
The present study has been designed to assess the relationship of dietary diversity with the nutrient intake among Punjabi preschoolers (3-6 years) that were categorized into three groups (n=120) based on the size of landholdings (hectares) as G I: Small farmers having 1-2 hectares, G II : Semi-medium farmers having 2-4 hectares and G III : Medium farmers having 4-10 hectares. The data pertaining to general profile of the subjects, socio-economic status of the households, demographic features, and nutritional status were collected on a pre-designed interview schedule. Appropriate statistical tools were applied to assess the relationship between various parameters. The results findings revealed that the mean adequacy ratio (MAR) was significantly lower in children belonging to families of small farmer (1-2 hectares), in comparison to those of semi-medium farmers (2-4 hectares). The statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between the dietary diversity and nutrient intake (p<0.01).
