The Triple Burden of Malnutrition is one of the most alarming issues of the current world. The current study focuses on the occurrence of triple burden of malnutrition in young adult women and impact of personalized nutrition education on the nutritional status of young adult women in the age group of 18- 21 years. The subjects were provided with questionnaire to collect the demographic and dietary data and also to screen the subjects for nutritional deficiencies. The study was conducted on 200 students and were assessed their nutritional status using ABCD technique such as Anthropometric Measurements (height, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference, waist and hip ratio), Biochemical Estimation, Clinical Examination and Dietary pattern (24 hour recall method, Food frequency table).The subjects were categorised into under nutrition, over nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. They were provided with personalised nutrition education on the basis of their nutritional status and requirements.
