摘要：

The risk factors involved in the prevalence of nightblindness due to vitamin A deficiency amongst children under 6 years of age in a coastal area of Bangladesh were critically analyzed. It was found that lack of nutritional knowledge and the consequent indifference to dietary vitamin A intake were stronger determinants than factors like formal education up to school level. In addition, the nature of occupation of the head of the household (e.g. fishing Vs day labouring) was also a very strong contributing factor.
