The present paper attempts to show the growth and nutritional status of the War Khasi children of Meghalaya with regard to height for age and weight for height. An interval method of determining the cut-off point and trigger level was proposed for the assessment of growth and nutritional status of children. It may be suggested that growth retardation is not only the manifestation of undernutrition and infection, but also that complex intreration between genetical and environmental factors. Relaxation of selection pressure among the elites seems likely to be related to the attainment of the so-called genetic potential
