“…Hitherto, data have been scanty on the anthropometric and nutritional status of various tribal populations of India (Arlappa et al 2005;Bose and Chakraborty 2005;Bose et al 2006a, b, c, d;Ghosh and Bala 2006). It has been recently suggested (Bose and Chakraborty 2005) that there is urgent need to evaluate the nutritional status of various tribes of India.…”
