ABSTRACT:

The objective of our  study was to obtain the Anthropometric measurements of body mid- arm circumference, in School going adolescents,9-12 years, boys and girls, contrasting socioeconomic groups and was investigated by cross sectional survey. The cross-sectional study was conducted on School going adolescents (total no-511), Pune, India. We observed that the measurements of mid- arm circumference of Higher income group (HIG) were almost greater than Lower income group (LIG) values in all the age groups. The analysis would be effective to interpret the pattern of growth in adolescents, 9-12 years, which could be altered by social upbringing and economic status in a community.

Key words: Anthropometry, School Children, Growth pattern, Socio-economic groups.
