Abstract | In India, the prevalence of under nutrition among adolescents is most common. Assessments of nutritional status play significant role in formulating developmental strategies of a country. The objectives of the present study is to assess the impact of nutritional supplementation in terms of nutritional grading and health status among student of age group of 19 to 21 years by the survey at University College Mangalore, Karnataka State. The survey carried out among students having lunch under Mid-day meal scheme, college canteen and food from their home. Anthropometric measurements were used to assess nutritional status and BMI of each student were calculated. Among these students, getting lunch box from home are healthier than the student having lunch at college canteen and mid-day meal scheme. This may be due to, these students get more nutrient food prepared at their home. Therefore there should be nutrition education and awareness sessions for students to increase their knowledge and benefit regarding proper diet and its effect on their health. |
