Body mass index (BMI) represents a normalization of weight to height and is used classify adiposity. While the capacity BMI as an adiposity has been experimentally validated in Caucasians, but there little testing Asian populations.To determine whether scales squared Indians across general population Indian tribes allometric analysis on power law model, W = αHβ, where (kg) H (m) was performed cross-sectional data from India (N 43,880) collected through Anthropological Survey India.

To evaluate secular change in body size and weight status of adult Indian males born 1891-1957 surveyed the 1970s.Data are from Anthropological Surveys. Only men were included surveys due to high female illiteracy lack researchers. society was also strongly conservative at time, especially rural areas, measurement women by not permitted. Heights weights 43 950 18-84 years (born 1891-1957) measured. The BMI calculated; individuals classified relative WHO criteria suggested for Asia-Pacific...

Regional variation in the body size of Indian men 18-84 years age (birth 1891-1957) was considered. Heights, weights, and BMIs males from four regions country - North, East-Northeast, Central, West were compared. Heights 35+ adjusted for estimated height loss with age; estimate added to observed provide an maximum height. Linear regressions measured on year birth used evaluate secular change by region. Differences heights weight among significant all groups, while differences BMI groups...

Abstract Hindus and Muslims represent the two largest religions in India, also differ nutritional status, health-related habits standard of living associated with economic disparities.

A total 612 individuals (312 300 boys) aged 5–18 years were examined compared NCHS reference data. nutritional status assessed using following anthropometric indicators: body height weight, mass index (BMI) composite failure (CIAF). It found that heavier (1 kg) taller...

Body mass index (BMI) is the 'measuring rod' of nutritional status. This study investigates type and extent correlation between adult male BMI socioeconomic, cultural bio-demographical variables using data from 11,496 individuals 38 districts Central India. For each individual, stature, body weight sitting height were collected, their Cormic computed, averages for district calculated. Mean was found to be lowest population Tikamgarh (17.90+/-1.91 kg m(-2)) highest that Durg (19.33+/-2.16...
