ABSTRACT Our study was conducted for knowing the dietary habit and nutritional status of a family of KharuaBazar at Chinsurah, District Hoogly. The family we studied belongs to middle class socio-economic status. We evaluated the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the members of the family from their respective height and weight. Blood pressure was also recorded. The prime objective of our study was to get an idea about the basic physiological status of the family members from their dietary habit. We also tried to understand if there is any relationship between the basic physiological status and dietary habit of the family. KEYWORDS: Body Mass Index, blood pressure, dietary habit, nutritional status, socio-economic. INTRODUCTION Diet Survey constitutes an essential part of studying nutrients intake level, dietary habit, dietary pattern and nutritional status of an individual or a family or families in a community. It also reveals the source of nutrients and attitude towards food. Under circumstances where frank signs of malnutrition do not exist, such type of survey may provide an indication of the adequacy/ inadequacy, of the diet for the maintenance of optimal nutritional status of individuals or families. It also provides data regarding dietary adequacy/ inadequacy which helps to exclude or include the type of food with required quantity to overcome the imbalanced status of the diet if found any. The deficiency or excess of a specific nutrient or Vol 5, Issue 6,
2 food groups are identified and accordingly the manoeuvre may be undertaken to ensure balanced diet intake. Questionnaire studies is naturally not accurate and comprises of questionnaire method. By visiting the family and collecting the data indirect assessment is performed and this is applicable for the family as a whole or at individual level. [1] MATERIALS AND METHODS Selection of the family The family was selected for conducting survey randomly from the local area of Chandan Nagar, Hooghly, West Bengal. The family had three members. The family comprised of the head of the family who is a business man by profession, his wife and one daughter. The family was selected keeping in mind certain things i.e., co-operative family, consisting of 3 to 7 members, no festivals (in society /in family) during the survey period, no ritualistic fasting of any member (during the period of survey), presence of family throughout the period. The Family daily habits Daily habits of the family were taken into consideration during the survey work. The family buys all regular food commodities (vegetables, cereals etc) from the market nearest to their house. They use water provided by local municipality and this water is also used for cooking purpose; They use standard water purifier for purifying drinking water. For washing clothes, utensils, vegetables and fishes they use the same water from. Sanitation system of the family is appropriate. Time Period of the Survey Studies show that a three days dietary survey is good enough to understand the nutritional status of the family. [1-3] Our survey work was conducted in the household of the selected famiy. The survey was conducted for a period of three consecutive days. An extreme care was taken to make sure that there was no exaggeration or suppression of facts regarding the food intake. Survey method Oral questionare method and raw food weighment method were used for the study. Food group wise consumptions and nutrient wise consumptions were compared to their requirements and thus excess or deficiency were evaluated. Vol 5, Issue 6,
3 Average Edible Consumption/ Consumption Unit/ Day for each family was calculated in terms of Raw Food/ Day. Nutrient Value of all items or foods consumed/ Day was considered. After calculating, data of Average Consumption of Food Items and different Nutrient Consumption Unit/ Day was compared with ICMR Standards. Diet Survey is broadly classified as Qualitative and Quantitative. Our Survey can be considered as Quantitative. Body mass index (BMI) Body mass index is a simple anthropometric index which shows the current nutritional status of an individual.bmi of each family member was calculated by weight and height measurements using the following formula. BMI= Weight (kg)/height (m 2 ) Blood Pressure Measurement Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures have physiological as well as clinical significance. [1] We measured blood pressure using sphygmomanometer. RESULTS The food group wise requirement and nutrient wise requirement was consulted from the ICMR standard and we calculated the food group wise and nutrient wise consumption of the family. We evaluated percentage of deficiency and excess for various food groups for a better understanding of the nutritional status of the family. While comparing the requirement and actual consumption in respect to food groups for the family, It has been observed that the family is deficient in cereals (40%), pulses (70%),roots & tubers (76%) leafy vegetables (50.18%), others vegetables (60%), milk & milk products (40%), flesh foods (16%), sugar & jiggery (70%) and fruits & nuts (68%). However, fats & oil (66%) consumption is excess than the requirement (Table 1). Vol 5, Issue 6,

The family was found to have excess consumption of fat (83%),carbohydrate (28), calcium (17%), vitamin C (5%) (Table 2).

5 Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI of each subject was evaluated using their respective weight (Kg) and height (m), (Table 4.A.). Comparing to the standard recommendation (Table 4 B.), the health status of each subject was predicted and considered in context to their dietary habit and nutritional status.

Table 5.Blood Pressure Chart DISCUSSION Family Age Blood Pressure (mm of Hg) Sex members (Years) Systolic Diastolic M F F According to our diet survey report it is evident that the family consumes an improper daily diet which is deficient in certain essential nutrients and at the same time is excess in some others. The diet of the family needs to be planned. Vol 5, Issue 6,
6 From the food group wise results, it is revealed that daily diet of the family is deficient in nearly all groups like cereals, pulses, leafy vegetables, some other vegetables, milk and milk products, flesh foods and jaggery, whereas fats & oils consumption is quite higher than the requirements. As per nutrient wise results, the family is found to be deficient in consumption of most of the nutrients. Some deficiency is observed in vitamin and mineral groups. The cause of such deficiency is due to inadequate intake of pulses, leafy vegetables, other vegetables and milk & milk products etc. It is also observed that fat, carbohydrate and some micronutrients like calcium, vitamin C etc. consumptions by the family are excess than requirements which is not good for the normal physiological process of the body. Excess consumption of fat is due to excess consumption of fats & oils by the family. Body Mass Index (BMI) is the weight of a person in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI is considered as an indirect indicator of high body fat content and obesity. BMI determination is an easy-to-perform as well as inexpensive method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health issues. [5] Body mass index of each member of the family is normal which reflects good status of their overall health. Surprisingly excess and deficient intake of certain nutrients has not affected the BMI of the subjects. Regular exercise, thyroid hormone level and activity, metabolic rate of the body, genetic predisposition of the activities of various lipolytic enzymes and metabolic status 6 etc. may be the reasons behind such strange observation. Establishment of the facts mentioned above in correlation to the normal BMI of the members of the family inspite of consumption of excess fats and oils needs further detailed investigation. Blood pressure (Systolic and diastolic) reflects the cardiovascular status of an individual and is considered as an early marker parameter for detection of possibilities of cardiovascular disorders 5.None of the family members exhibit hypertension. The females rather have low blood pressure values. Adequate intake of protein and other essential vitamins and minerals should be included in the daily diet of the family. Vol 5, Issue 6,
7 CONCLUSION As reflected from food group wise results and nutrient wise results, the family consumes certain foods and nutrients in excess than required while they consume certain other foods and nutrients less than their actual requirement. This imbalance in diet should be corrected by proper intake of foods and nutrients as per requirement obeying the guidelines laid by the Indian Council of Medical Research (which has already been communicated to the family). Though the BMI and Blood pressure values of all three members of the family as observed are nothing to worry about only except that the two female members of the family have low blood pressure values than normal. Inclusion of adequate quantity of protein and other essential nutrients in their diet is recommended. Green leafy vegetables and indigenous spices and spice herbs should be incorporated in the foods consumed by the family. They help to meet requirements of various micro and macro nutrients. They also strengthen the immune system of the body and are rich source of antioxidants as well.
