CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION
Nutritional Assessment is the interpretation of information obtained from dietary, biochemical,
anthropometric and clinical studies. The information is used to determine the health status of individuals or
population groups as influenced by their intake and utilization of nutrients.
Nutritional Status is the condition of the body resulting from the intake, absorption and utilization of
foods. This status refers to severe, moderate, normal, mild, overweight, and obese for the weight measurement
and either normal, tall, or stunted for height (FNRI 2003).
Community Assessment paints a picture of the health of the community, its ecology, and the factors
influencing the way its people live. It is the most practical method of obtaining an overview of the nutritional
status of the given community (Christakis, 1974).
Nutrition is a process by which living organism receives material and uses them to promote its vital
activities.
Nutrient is any substance which is digested and absorbed to promote body function.
