Introduction: Malnutrition is the most widespread condition affecting the health of children [1]. As recent data shows higher malnutrition in children of urban area and little work has been done in this regard hence this study aims to estimate the magnitude and explore the socio-economic determinants of malnutrition among under -ve children of eld practicing area of UHTC. This would help in better understanding of the issue and future planning. Methods: This Community based, cross-sectional, observational study was done at Sushilpura area from July 2021 to October 2022. Total 360 children under ve year of age were assessed for malnutrition and factors associated. Results: There were 46.7% male and 53.3% female. Majorities (83.9%) were Hindus and were nuclear families (68.3%). Only 6.4 percent families were higher socioeconomic status while only 7.2% households were lowest socioeconomic status. Around one fourth subjects were from ST/SC categories. The prevalence of under nutrition was 56.4%. Overall stunting was about 35.3% with 4.2% of severe stunting; moreover about 21.1% had wasting with 5.6% of severe wasting. Sex, religion, caste, family size, socio economic status, livestock in house, ventilation of house, overcrowding were signicant factors associated with malnutrition. Conclusion: under-nutrition is high among children of Sushilpura, an urban dwelling of Jaipur city. One third was stunted and every fth child was wasted too. Low socioeconomic status, less educated parents, poor sanitation, female sex, birth order, lack of exclusive breast feeding, nuclear family, higher number of episodes of acute diarrhea in last one year were important associated factors. Presence of domestic livestock and absence of overcrowding were positive factor for preventing malnutrition.
