Timing of Permanent Teeth Emergence and Dental Caries among Jatsikh Children of Public and Government Schools of Patiala District
The purpose of this study is to establish the median timing of permanent teeth emergence in a low to high socio-economic level school children. A sample of 1648 Jat-Sikh children which includes 821 children (452 boys, 369 girls) from public schools and 827 children (377 boys, 460 girls) from government schools forms the basis of this study. Each child has been studied for permanent dental eruption and dental caries. The median emergence times hav…
Nutritional Status
A total of 6531 Punjabi children (3720 males and 2811 females) in the age range of 1 to 5 years were measured in this cross-sectional study during the months of October to December, 2001 inhabiting different parts of Punjab for assessing malnutrition using the criteria of weight-for-age, height-for-age, MUAC-for age (WHO, 1983), weight-for-height (WHO, 1995) and BMI (Rolland-Cachera et al., 1984). The percentage of children who were underweight, …
Arm Muscle and Fat Components in Adolescent Boys of Punjab
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the association between Arm Fat and Muscle components inadolescent boys of Punjab. A cluster sampling of 829 boys from 12 to 18 years was drawn from various schools of Moga,Ludhiana, Bathinda and Ferozpur districts in Punjab during October 2000.Each subject was measured for two skinfolds,viz., Biceps and Triceps and one circumference of the Upper Arm employing standard techniques of Tanner et al. …
Assessment of Malnutrition in Punjabi Urban Males According to Body Mass Index (BMI) and Weight for Height Criteria
A total of 1044 Punjabi urban males were investigated during October 2000 for the assessment of malnutrition using BMI and weight for height index. Following WHO criteria for BMI, 60.62% of the males are found to be underweight, 38.02% are within normal ranges and only 1.34% are overweight. Frequency of malnutrition in the present sample is decreasing with increasing age according to weight for height criteria given by Jellife
A Haematological Study of the Vokkaligas of Mysore
The present study is based on a sample of 100 Vokkaligas (90 males, 10 females) ranging in age from 6 to 20 years. The blood specimens collected have been analyzed for different hematological parameters i.e. haemoglobin estimation, red blood cell count, total leucocyte count and differential leucocyte count. The slides have also been examined for the presence or absence of malarial parasites. Haemoglobin estimated by acid haematin method has been…
A Study of Age Changes in Skin Colour Reflectance of Vokkaliga Boys of Mysore
The Present study is based on a sample of 130 Vokkaliga boys of Mysore ranging in age from 9 to 20 years. EFL skin reflectance spectrophotometer with nine filters (601-609) of different wavelengths has been used for quantitative evaluation of skin reflection of each subject at three sites that is, center of forehead, inner side of upper arm and flexor surface of forearm. At all the three sites, the darkening of the skin has been observed during p…
Dental Development and Onest of Menarche in Jat Sikh Girls
Physiological maturity of Jat Sikh girls have been assessed using two measures of maturity-Dental age and Secondary sex character age-menarche. Data were collected on 253 Jat Sikh girls ranging in age 6-16 years. Dental age, the measure of maturity through eruption of permanent teeth, has been studied in Jat Sikh girls pertaining to sequences and time of eruption, bilateral symmetry and maxilla-mandibular variation. The secondary sex character ag…
Anthropometric Standards for Readymade Garments of Pre-School Children
The data for the present study consisted of 1000 normal pre-school children (504 girls and 496 boys) ranging in age from 2.750 to 5.249 years. Twenty-five anthropometric measurements have been taken on each child selected from 14 government and recognized private schools and crèches from Chandigarh. From the distribution of frequencies and the percentage of height and chest girth in relation to age, it has been concluded that chronological age do…
Emergence and Agenesis of Third Molar and Its Relationship with Cephalo-Facial Measurements in Punjabi Girls
The present study is based on a cross-sectional sample of 495 Punjabi girls ranging in age from 20 to 25 years. The subjects were drawn from various educational institutions of Faridkot and Patiala districts of Punjab. the subjects were examined for the eruption of third molars. Four head and face measurements i.e. head length, head breadth, bizygomatic and bigonal diameters were also taken on each subjects. The median age of eruption of third mo…
Estimates of aging and secular changes using total arm length
Stature, total arm length, and subischial length were studied in a cross‐sectional sample of 387 working (career women) and 460 nonworking women (housewives), 20–75 years of age, from one endogamous group, the Khatris. Statural decrease due to aging was separated from secular effects by using total arm length, which was least affected by aging. The rate of loss in stature due to aging was 0.142 cm/year in the working women and 0.140 cm/year in th…
Estimated fat, bone mineral, total body water and cell solids in females of two communities of Punjab, India
The data for the present study consist of 502 Jat-Sikh and 510 Bania females of Punjab (India), ranging in age from 20 to 80 years. The different components of the body i.e. fat, bone mineral, total body water and cell solids have been calculated from anthropometric measurements by applying different equations given by various investigators. While studying age changes in different components of the body, it is the fat component, which has undergo…
Age changes in skeletal diameters of two communities of Punjab (India) from 20 to 80 years
The study was conducted on a cross-sectional sample of 502 Jat-Sikh and 510 Bania females ranging in age from 20 to 80 years. The results indicate that shoulder breadth increases up to age group 30-39. After that a decrease sets in, but the bicristal diameter continues to increase up to the sixth decade. The diameters of the extremities have also shown continuous increase up to the fifth or sixth decade in both the communities. On an average, the…
