AbstractThe paper analyse the articles as reflected through PubMed database for the year 1999 to 2014 to investigate the trend in the growth of literature on Malnutrition in children. The results of the study reveals that , the value of an average RGR of articles Rt(P) increased gradually from 0.63to 2.47 (1999 to 2013) and there is miniature decrease in the year 2012 (2.33). The mean relative growth Rt(P) for the first 8 years (1999 - 2006) indicates a growth rate of 2.53 years, whereas for the next 8 years (2007 - 2014) it was increased 4.48 yearsThe R2 value for the linear trend (0.9187) is more than that of exponential trend (0.9262), which indicates that the exponential trend is more suitably fit to as compared to linear trend.
