Poor nutritional status as well as excess adiposity levels are the major public health concerns in the developing country such as India. The aims of the present cross-sectional study were to assess prevalence of under-nutrition and overweight/obesity among women belonging to the Bengalee Hindu Kayastha Population (BHKP). The study was carried out among 200 adult women belonging to the BHKP, aged 20-24 years and residing in the sub-divisional town of Siliguri, located in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. Anthropometric measurements of height and weight were recorded using standard procedures and body mass index was calculated. Prevalence of under-nutrition (BMI<18.50 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI=23.00-24.99 kg/m²) and obesity (BMI≥25.00 kg/m²)were determined using the World Health Organization (WHO) BMI cut-offsfor Asian Indians. The statistical analysis were performed using SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL USA; version 17.0. Prevalence of under-nutrition among the women was 10.00%. Prevalence of overall over-nutrition was observed to be 38.00% (overweight: 17.00%; obesity: 21.00%).The present study indicates existence of double burden of malnutrition (i.e., both under- and over-nutrition) among the BengaleeHindu Kayastha women of Siliguri town, Darjeeling district, West Bengal, India. Appropriate intervention programmes are necessary to improve their overall nutritional condition.
