Analysis of the nutritional health consequences for Indian children during drought
The major objective was to define the effect of drought on malnutrition and morbidity in rural Indian children. A comparative data set collected in the year before the commencement of drought and after three years of drought enabled the study of child nutrition and health status differences between drought and non‐drought periods. Since the effect of drought is dependent on several factors, such as relief works provided by the government, socioec…
Socioeconomic determinants of child nutritional status in rural and tribal India
Weight of 4223 children (0–72 months of age) of rural and tribal villages of Panchmahals district (Gujarat State, India) was measured and expressed as percent of the NCHS median. Household socioeconomic status was assessed by interviewing the head of the family. Nutrition knowledge of mothers was evaluated to determine its effect on the nutritional status of their children. Difference in mean weight for age for socioeconomic, maternal and child f…
Habit survey of a culturally acceptable mother food in Gujarat, India
Family sharing of maternal food supplements is a profound problem in feeding programmes. Methipak — a bitter‐sweet energy, protein and iron rich confection of wheat, fat, crude sugar and fenugreek ( Trigon‐ella foenum graecum) was identified as having potential non‐sharing characteristics. A group of 662 Baroda pregnant, lactating and non‐pregnant‐non‐lactating women were interviewed. The practice of consuming Methipak was far stronger in lactati…
The phenomenon of Sanskritization in a forest‐dwelling tribe of Gujarat, India. nutrient intake and practices in the special groups
“Sanskritization,” a social‐cultural phenomenon attempting to improve caste or tribal status, was studied for differences in nutrient intake and food practices in the infant, toddler, preschooler, pregnant and lactating woman of the Sanskritized and non‐Sanskritized segments of the Rathwakoli, Gujarat. The retinol intakes in all groups of both segments was alarmingly low. The non‐Sanskritized special groups, however, showed notably higher dietary…
Intrafamilial distribution of nutrients in a deep forest‐dwelling tribe of Gujarat, India
The intrafamilial distribution of food was studied in 78 male heads of families of the Rathwakoli tribe and their family members in Chhotaudepur. Gujarat. The “head” (moderate worker) was found to be in positive nutrient intake status except for retinol and ascorbic acid, receiving the lion's share of the family diet. Other family members—toddlers (1–3 years), preschoolers (4–6 years), school children (7–12 years), adolescents (13–18 years), preg…
The impact of sanskritization in a forest‐dwelling tribe of Gujarat, India. Ecology, food consumption patterns, nutrient intake, anthropometric, clinical and hematological status
The phenomenon of “Sanskritization,” a process by which a low caste or tribe is able to rise to a higher position in the caste hierarchy by adopting vegetarianism, teetotalism, and rituals of the higher castes, was investigated in two culturally different segments of the forest‐dwelling Rathwakoli, Gujarat, India. Sixty‐five Bhagat families who had given up meat, alcohol and other tribal ways were compared with 42 non‐Bhagat families who adhered …
