rural. The food behavior is directly related to nutritional and health status of individual. There is need of sufficient
amount of nutrients in the form of daily diet for the maintenance of good health. Many factors, particularly socioeconomic
such as living condition and other factors related to dietary intake influence the nutritional status.
Malnutrition causes increasing illness, morbidity and mortality as well as diminishing the quality of life

nutritional status and health of people living in Allahabad district. It is based on primary data collected through

analysis of the data. Study reveals that dietary intake is higher among respondents of general caste than the other
