The purpose of this study is to determine the nutritional and health status of preschool children aged two to five years who attend a range of preparatory schools in KANPUR's CHAUBEPUR neighborhood. The study was undertaken in a small number of selective preparatory institutions. A random sample of 150 children was chosen. The parents' information data was acquired via an interview and a questionnaire. The nutritional examination included anthropometric measures and clinical assessment.

Protein consumption of pre-school children is above the recommended daily allowance, whereas fat intake of 2-3 year old children is beyond the recommended daily allowance. Children aged 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 years receive less calcium than their daily recommended amount, whereas children at 4-5 years receive more calcium than their recommended daily allowance. Children in this sample ingest less iron than the daily recommended requirement.
