By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The aim of the present study was to investigate the waist hip ratio of Punjabi girls ranging in age from 10-12 years. Subjects were taken from govt. senior secondary school Nadampur, District -Sangrur (Punjab). Different anthropometric measurements like height, weight, waist and hip circumference were taken on each subject with standardized techniques to measure waist and hip ratio. Results showed that girls of present study possess 136.3 cm height and they had 37.47 kg body weight. However, Waist hip ratio was also observed higher side (0.93) in girls of present study as compared to the value given by WHO.
