Abstract: Background of study: Globally, children aged 3–5 face a stark nutritional paradox: concurrent undernutrition and rising overnutrition. In 2021, approximately 148 million under 5s were stunted, 45 million were wasted, and 37 million were overweight or obese. In urban and rural India, preschoolers suffer from persistent nutrition deficits. A 2023 Delhi-based study reported 35.5% stunting, 32.1% underweight, and 19.3% wasting among under 5s with substantial overlap of these conditions. Other state-level studies reflect similarly worrying numbers: one indicated 52% underweight, 54% stunting, and 47.5% wasting among Anganwadi enrolled children. Even relatively better-performing regions, like urban Karnataka, reported 25.4% underweight, 23.5% stunting, and 10.2% wasting in preschoolers. Malnutrition during preschool years is not merely a stage concern; it has profound lifelong implications. Stunting is strongly associated with impaired cognitive development, poorer educational attainment, and reduced adult productivity. Material and methods: The researcher adopted descriptive, cross-sectional research design. The non-probability method, purposive sampling technique was used. Total 50 children aged between 3 to 5 years admitted in pediatric ward of Dr. VVP PRH; Loni were selected for the present study. The study participants were assessed using demographic variables and anthropometric measurement checklist of weight for height. Results: The study findings regarding nutritional status of the 3 to 5 years children revealed that 54% of the study participants were having normal nutritional status, followed by 36% of the study participants were having mild malnutrition, followed by 8% of the study participants were having moderate malnutrition, followed by 2% of the study participants were overweight and 0% of the study participants were having severe malnutrition. Overall, the group of the selected study participants normal nutritional status. There was no significant association between the nutritional status and selected demographic variables of the study participants. Conclusion: The 3-5 years age group children admitted in the pediatric ward at Dr. VVP PRH; Loni had found with the normal to mild malnutrition. The 3-5 years age group overall had a normal nutritional status. There was no significant association between the nutritional status with selected demographic variables of the study participants.
