Among tropical regions, India contributed substantially in the field // of nutrition (Nicholls, 1945). The incidence of pellagra was noticed and the // role of niacin in its cure was successfully demonstrated in India (Raman, 1940; // Aykroyd & Swaminathan, 1940). The agricultural practices in India also underwent // modifications with concomitant increase in the crop yields. However, the basic // diet of individuals remained inadequate, devoid of animal fats and proteins, // due to poor economic conditions (Day, 1944). The translation of nutrition research // into sustained public health was hindered by obstacles of weak economy, ignorance // and poverty (Aykroyd, 1941). Other deficiency diseases such as maternal anaemia, // infant beriberi and osteomalacia continued to be rampant. Sustained nutritional // issues prompted the revision of Indian FCT resulting in the publication of fourth // edition of the Health Bulletin No. 23 by Aykroyd, Patwardhan, and Ranganathan (1951). // Note: // Can convert textual number to number. // 1950-1959 is considered for 1951 event. ``` ```javascript // Additional methods: about.load() // → corpus ``` > Supported [topics] include: 1937, 1951, 1963, 1971, 1989, 2017, challenge, > column, credit, data, father, form, funder, group, interest, learn, limitation, > publisher, source, supporter, use, user, what, when, why. <br> <br> [![](https://i.imgur.com/D5UYmbD.jpg)](http://ifct2017.com/)<br> [![ORG](https://img.shields.io/badge/org-ifct2017-green?logo=Org)](https://ifct2017.github.io) [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/130771360.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/130771360) > Data was obtained from the book [Indian Food Composition Tables 2017].<br> > Food composition values were measured by [National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad].
