WHY I SELECTED THIS STUDY
• Adolescence is :o Period of rapid growth, their last chance to growo Period of high physiological & mental stress being in transitional
period of life.• This is the age-group where intervention will be most fruitful because
o The are enthusiastic & receptive to new ideas.o Will decide our future societies’ health & way of thinkingo It includes mothers of near future so their nutrition and
knowledge will decide our IMR, neonatal survival & ultimately healthy society.
• In our country, this is not given due importance as compared tomorbidity and mortality in infant and pregnant women. In India it isdocumented that 2/3 adolescent females are below UNICEF Std. of Wt. = 45 kg and ht = 145 cm
