A total of 400 pre-school children were evaluated. All the individuals were grouped into 3 groups according to their anthropometric parameters. The anthropometric measurements and if any associated nutritional deficiencies were evaluated and compared amongst the three groups, made on the basis of presence of malnutrition and malnutrition associated with nutritional deficiencies. The present work “A crosses sectional study on nutritional status and associated nutritional deficiencies in malnourished preschool children in relation to anthropometric measurements” About 400 children in the age group of 1-5 years were studied for their Anthropometric indices. Age being the only criteria the anthropometric measurements was done to assess the nutritional status. Age was recorded by interviewing the parents or by the birth record of the child.
