Background: Globally malnutrition possesses a double burden in the forms of undernutrition and obesity. The most adverse form of human deprivation is undernutrition among under five children. A child who is underweight may be stunted, wasted or both. The study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of under-five children and to identify the determinants of nutritional status among them. Methodology: This is a community based cross-sectional, analytical study conducted on 330 under-five children. Data was collected using a pre tested semi-structured questionnaire containing socio-demographic particulars, details pertaining to the mother, details pertaining to the child and anthropometric measurements. Results: In this study, majority (60%) were males. Around 16.4%, 26.4% and 32% of Under 5 children were underweight, wasted and stunted respectively. During the last 1 year about 33.6% and 73.6% had history of acute diarrhoeal infection and acute respiratory tract infection. Variables significantly associated with underweight, stunting and wasting were female gender, nourishment of mother, exclusive breastfeeding (p value < 0.05). Underweight was associated (p value <0.05) with wasting and stunting. Conclusion: Stunting and wasting rates were higher compared to the National and regional rates given inNFHS-5 data. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
