<br/><br/> ABSTARCT: AN ANALYTICAL CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY WAS DONE TO DETERMINE THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF CHILDREN, AGES 0 - 72 MONTHS, IN AREA 3, BARANGAY HOLY SPIRIT.  THE STUDY SHOWED THAT 26% OF THE TARGET POPULATION WAS UNDERWEIGHT.  THE RELATIONSHIP OF THREE RISK FACTORS (MONTHLY FAMILY INCOME, FREQUENCY OF EATING AND BREASTFEEDING HABITS) TO THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS WAS ALSO ASSESSED BY USING A PAIRED T-TEST STATISTICAL ANALYSIS.  RESULTS SHOW THAT THE RISK FACTORS HAD NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF THE SUBJECTS.
