Growth and Nutrition: Preliminary Findings from the Round 5 Survey in India
This fact sheet presents findings from the fifth round of the Young Lives survey of children in United Andhra Pradesh in 2016
Abstract
This fact sheet presents findings from the fifth round of the Young Lives survey of children in United Andhra Pradesh in 2016. Young Lives has followed two cohorts of children since 2002. This fact sheet gives a snapshot of key growth and nutrition indicators for 15-year-olds in 2016 (Younger Cohort) and considers changes since this cohort was age one in 2002. The fact sheet also compares that to the data for 15-yearolds in 2009 (Older Cohort) to show changes in the context of children’s nutrition and growth over that seven-year period.
Young Lives is an international study of childhood poverty, following the lives of 12,000 children in 4 countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam) over 15 years. Young Lives is funded by the UK Department for International Development
