The levels and the inequality in child nutrition are higher among economically poor and socially backward communities within the state. Objective: To estimate and compare the inequality in child nutrition status across socio-demographic characteristics in the Uttar Pradesh state of India. Methods: Data from the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-4 & NFHS-3) was used for Uttar Pradesh – the most populous state of India. The nutrition status was assessed in terms of undernutrition (weight-forage), stunted (height-for-age), wasted (weight-for-height) and anaemia level. Health inequalities indices, the absolute difference, Ratio, Population Attributed Risk, and Population Associated Fraction were calculated using WHO HEAT 2.0 software. Results: The nutrition and anaemia levels vary according to background characteristics; however, the levels of undernutrit...

The state is divided into four distinct regions and 71 districts. The study examine the variation in the utilization of RCH services viz. antenatal care, safe deliveries, child immunization, and reproductive & child health status in the districts of Uttar Pradesh. The district level analysis is carried out for all districts as recorded in DLSH-3 (2007-08). Different composite indices are computed to study the pattern of socio-economic development, availability of health facilities, utilization of RCH services and reproductive and child health status in the districts of Uttar Pradesh state. All districts are ranked according to the values of these indices and GIS maps are also prepared. The study reveals that utilization of health services and social development depicts strong negative relation with reproduc...
