摘要：In this paper an attempt is made to give an overview of health of Indians, as well as, essential aspect of their environment. India is a multi-ethnic, multi-lin- guistic and multi-religious state. Most of the people who are at a disadvantage due to nutritional handicaps are found in developing countries and India is no exception. Nutri- tion or rather lack of good food coupled with a stress filled environment can place the population at a disadvantage. The maintenance of ill health across generations result from a complex interplay of social, economic, cultural and biological factors. The complexity of relationship provides many points at which the passage of ill health from gen- eration to generation can be interrupted. Similarly, pro- tecting the health of infants and young children also pro- tects the health of the next generation of adults.
