Women's status in society has an impact on their health. Female infanticide, a higher death rate, a lower sex ratio, poor literacy rates, and a lower level of work for women in the non-agricultural sector as opposed to men are only a few examples of how the demographic consequences of women manifest themselves. The degree of women's nutritional status is typically determined at the home level by socioeconomic circumstances, cultural norms and practices, and other factors. The study discusses about the nutritional status of women in India using the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-21. The study sets the objectives of the paper as the prevalence of anemia in women, understanding the pattern of food consumption of women in India and a comparative analysis of health status of women between India and Assam. The paper finds out some significant conclusions such as low nutritional status, poor diet among the women in India and later suggesting some ways to improve the health status.
