The Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS)

The Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) provides data on the prevalence and trends of nutrition-related indicators for low-income children attending federally-funded maternal and child health and nutrition programs. In New York State, data on birth weight, short stature, underweight, overweight, anemia, breastfeeding, smoking in household, and TV viewing are presented for infants and children (< 5 years of age) participating in the Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants and Children.
