Abstract
The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) included a nutritional status assessment module to the 1985-88 Household Expenditure Survey (HES). The Nutritional Status Survey is the only national cross-sectional anthropometric based survey conducted in Bangladesh where data were periodically collected over a year's time. Since the anthropometric data were collected from the same households as the HES, national descriptions of nutritional status disaggregated by income and expenditure information have been possible.
Kind of Data
Sample survey data [ssd]
Unit of Analysis
Nutrition survey teams identified if a 6-71 month old child was available for weighing and measuring, and if a parent/guardian was available to interview Of the 960 households identified in each period, between 555 and 601 had at least one child 6-71 months of age. Between 504 and 550 households were interviewed for a mean coverage rate of 92.3% (range: 90.8% to 94.5%) and a corresponding mean non-response rate of 7.7% (range: 5.5% to 9.2%). Of the 176 households that were not interviewed, 90.0% of them had a survey child of 6-71 months who was not at home at the time of interview.

The "Integrated Multipurpose Sample" (IMPS) has been used by BBS for four surveys: the Household Expenditure Survey (HES), Labor Force Survey, Demographic Survey, and the Nutritional Status Survey, which was however carried out as a component of the HES, 1985-86.
The sample was designed to permit urban and rural, as well as national descriptions. There were 240 Primary Sampling Units (PSU), of which 108 were urban and 132 rural. There were four periods of data collection for both the HES and Nutrition Survey. Data were collected from 60 PSU's which were randomly selected each period. In each PSU, 16 households were selected by HES for interview and enumeration.
