Abstract

Weighing programs for young children. whether based in clinic or the village, run by health professionals or trained laymen, give comparable results to improve child nutrition.

When carried out in the village, participation of village mothers, particularly the poor and underserved is far more likely to give greater coverage to this nutritional activity.

In view of the drop in percent standard weight during the first year of life greater attention should be placed on this period in all nutrition programs.
