It provides data on the nutritional status of populations at national and state levels.
New Delhi: India currently faces twin challenges in the nutrition sector ? undernutrition manifesting causing several health problems and, second, exacerbating the consequences of being overweight and obese. Together, they contribute to the national burden of noncommunicable diseases. In order to provide a snapshot of all relevant data and information about nutrition, the Hyderabad-based National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) has developed the country?s first ?nutrition atlas?.
The nutrition atlas provides information and data on the nutritional status of population groups at national and state levels, along with an overview of nutrition-related deficiencies, disorders and prevalence levels in various parts of the country. It also provides information on nutrients, nutrient-rich foods, nutritional deficiency disorders and a host of other topics.
The atlas is interactive and displays information in the form a user may select. It was developed through a long-drawn technical exercise by a multidisciplinary team at the bioinformatics division of NIN. It makes use of publicly available data sources, like reports of the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau, the National Family Health Survey, the World Health Organisation and other public databases. The dashboard acts like an information management tool, helping the user track data on undernutrition, overweight, obesity and communicable and noncommunicable diseases. It can also provide time-wise trends on each of these parameters.
