The sample for the study comprised of 410 Scheduled Tribe women (Gujjar and bakkerwal) in the reproductive age (18-45 years) from four districts of Kashmir i. e Anantnag, Baramulla, Gandarbal and Srinagar. Nutritional status of respondents was evaluated by taking Anthropometric measurements (i.e height and weight, BMI) and conducting dietary survey (24 hour food recall).
