An observational study of 500 children (267 boys and 233 girls) was undertaken during 2008-2010 at primary health centres under the aegis of Katihar Medical College in Kosi region of Bihar to assess their nutritional status using mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) in Katihar district of Bihar. Children from remote villages in rural areas located approximately 30 km from Katihar district headquarters were observed. Information on age of the children were collected from their parents. Measurement was recorded in centimetres and was procured using the standard technique. Nutritional status was determined following the World Health Organization age and sex specific cut off points. Results revealed that mean MUAC among boys was higher than girls at all ages. Significant sex differences were observed at ages 3 (p<0.05), 4 (p<0.05) and 5(p <0.05) years. Overall under nutrition were similar in both sexes. This result implied that both the sexes were equally malnourished. An increasing trend in the rates of overall malnutrition from 3 to 5 years in both sexes was observed. Our study clearly indicated that the nutritional status of children of both sexes in this age group is a serious issue. It seems appropriate to expect much improvement in the form of enhanced supplementary nutrition than what is currently being offered by the ICDS scheme in Katihar district of Bihar.
