One year follow‐up study of stature, weight, emergence of dentition, and sexual maturation of well‐nourished indian girls from birth to 20 years
Stature, weight, and emergence of deciduous and permanent teeth of 1,330 well‐nourished girls from birth to 20 years belonging to well‐off families residing in Delhi are reported. All subjects were measured on two occasions 1 year apart. In addition, each subject was examined for gingival emergence of deciduous or permanent teeth on both occasions. Data on age at menarche were also collected. Single‐year velocities of stature and weight are highe…
Physical growth and age at eruption of deciduous and permanent teeth in well‐nourished Indian girls from birth to 20 years
The results of a cross‐sectional anthropometric survey of 1,643 well‐nourished girls, from birth to 20 years, from the city of Delhi (India) are reported. The standardized measurements of body weight, height/crown–heel length, sitting height/crown–rump length, biacromial and bicristal diameters, head circumference, chest girth, upper arm girth, calf girth and skinfolds at biceps, triceps, and subscapular regions were taken for each subject. Media…
Nutritional Anthropometric Measurements and Indices of Adults in Delhi
Mean vibes, standard deviations and selected centiles of standardised measurements of height, weight and upper am girth. of 1692 men and 362 women aged 20-59 years and working in different government offices in UN and New Delhi are presented. Data on monthly income and size of the family of the subjects are also) given. Mean height of men and women were 166.1 SD 5.8 cm. and 153.6 SD 5.4 cm. respectively. Selected entitles of body weight at differ…
Age and Secular Factor in Adult Stature in Punjabi Khatri Males and Females of High and Low Socio Economic Groups
Age associated changes in adult stature of a cross sectional sample of 268 males and 396 females (age range 11-59 years) of 203 Punjabi Ishtar families of high and low socio economic groups were estimated by paid regression coefficient of stature on age, controlling subischial height. The values of ageing estimates indicate mamma developmental plasticity of the two sexes with respect to ageing. Ageing adjusted sex specific means of stature of par…
Parent-Adult Offspring Correlations of Anthropometric Measurements in an Urban Indian Population
General and environmental influence on anthropometric traits have been studied using intraf-amillal correlationand regression analyses on a sample of 85 nuclear Aggarwal families. Highly significant correlation values of midparanl-offspring and parent-offspring for body measurements (except upper aim circumference and skinfolds at biceps and triceps) suggest strong genetic component in the expression of these traits. Heritablity are found to be h…
Height, Weight and Arm Girth of College Girls in Delhi
Mean values, standard deviations and selected centiles of standardised measurements of height, weight and aim girth of 771 girls aged 17 to 20+ years studying in different colleges in Delhi and New Delhi are presented separately for different age groups. The mean and selected centiles of body weight at different heights are also penned. A positive secular trend towards higher mean values of height of the present generation of girls is reserved. M…
Effect of Genetic and Environmental Factors on Body Measurements of First, Second and Third Degree of Relatives
203 Punjabi Katri families residing in Delhi were surveyed for 18 standardised body measurements which included linear measurements, diameters, girths, skinfolds and body weight. Only the adult members of the families were measured and their ages ranged from 17 to 58 years. In addition to nuclear family cm-Wakes, ambition coefficients for different body measurements of extended family members living in separate homes were also calculated. Adult s…
Estimation of total body volume from arm measurements in Punjabi girls aged 10–19 years
Mean values and standard deviations of total body volume, body density, arm volume, height, weight and a battery of 15 measurements of arm comprising different lengths, girths, diameters and skinfolds of 200 Punjabi girls aged 10–19 years are presented. Relationship between arm volume and total body volume in different age groups are also studied. Highly significant and positive correlations existed between arm volume and total body volume and th…
Estimation of body fat and lean body mass from anthropometric dimensions in adult Indian women
Mean values and standard deviations of body fat and lean body mass of 65 young Indian women aged 20-25 years were 9.00 kg, SD 6.14 and 36.02 kg, SD 3.99 respectively. Body fat per cent was 18.72 SD 10.48. On selective stepwise multiple linear regression analysis, the measurements selected for predicting body fat % were maximum thigh girth, chest diameter, height up to gluteal furrow and shoulder diameter, all four together giving a multiple corre…
Anthropometric determination of body volume, body density and segmental volume in adult Indian women
Body density, total body volume, leg volume and arm volume of 65 young Indian women 20-25 years were measured experimentally. In addition, a series of 61 anthropometric measurements were also taken on each subject. Correlations of leg volume with total body volume and body density were 0.91 and -0.73 respectively and of arm volume with total body volume and body density were 0.84 and -0.66 respectively. Hip girth alone showed a very high positive…
A longitudinal study of the growth of trunk surface area measured by planimeter on standard somatotype photographs
Thoracic and abdominal surface areas have been measured by planimeter on 340 photogrammetric somatotype photographs of 15 boys of the Harpenden Growth Study followed at regular intervals from 3 to 20 years of age. Mean distance and velocity curves are given, estimated by Patterson's method for extracting maximum information from mixed longitudinal data. Both areas showed a marked adolescent growth spurt with the age at peak coinciding with the ag…
Nutritional anthropometric measurements of male Tamil clerks in Madras (sea coast plains) and Ooty (hills)
The mean values and standard deviations of height, weight, bicristal diameter, arm girth and skinfold measurements at triceps and biceps of 315 Tamilian adult men from Madras (South India) and 318 adult men of the same ethnic, linguistic, socioeconomic and age groups from the Hill Station of Ooty (South India) are compared. Intercorrelations between age and six anthropometric parameters have also been presented separately for Madras and Ooty subj…

Age Changes in Hand Measurements of the Punjabi Boys at Adolescence
In the present paper the mean values, standard deviations, rates of growth, distance and velocity curves of hand length and hand breadth of 400 Punjabi speaking Hindu Khatri (an endogamous caste) boys aged 11 to 18 years are presented. The values of correlation coefficient 'r' between hand length and stature; hand breadth and stature and between hand length and hand breadth are also reported separately for each age group
A cross sectional study of growth in five somatometric traits of Punjabi boys aged eleven to eighteen years
In the present paper, the mean values, standard deviations and rate of growth of five somatometric traits; namely height, weight, sitting height, height minus sitting height, and bicristal diameter of Punjabi Hindu Khatri (an endogamous caste) boys aged 11 to 18 years are represented. Simple forms of distance and velocity curves for each trait are also given and the ages of adolescent spurts are discussed. Data on the appearance of pigmented axil…
