There were 776 males and 236 females in the age group of 5-15 years. The values of weight and height were recorded for every child in the study sample. Age and sex break-up was studied and compared with the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) standard.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The comparison made separately for boys and girls showed that the values for both sexes and in all age groups were less than the ICMR standard. The majority (83.6%) of the children belonged to the middle and low social class according to the modified Prasad's classification. An inference is, therefore, drawn that rural school children of middle and low socio-economic status are shorter and lighter as com pared with even their own counterparts on whom the ICMR values are based.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The state of health of school-going children in India is far from satisfactory despite the fact that school health programmes along with other nutritional pro grammes have been in operation for several decades. School-going children constitute a sizeable section of India's population, i.e. about 27%, which is easily accessible and also receptive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>An early and convenient method of assessing nutri tional and socio-economic status of growing children is anthropometry. Physical growth, in terms of weight and height, is considered an important parameter reflecting the pattern of growth and development in a community. In the developing countries, the growing children by and large are depnved of good nutrition on account of their poor socio-economic status, ignorance and lack of health promotional facilities. This nutritio nal deprivation results in relative stunting of growth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/146642409011000512","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T13:36:39Z","timestamp":1190122599000},"page":"184-186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Anthropometric Measurements in Rural School Children"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Asif Z.","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, J.
