Background:The physical growth rate pattern refers to the typical changes in a person's size and body composition over time, from infancy through adulthood. The present study was conducted to evaluate anthropometric measurements in school going children. Materials & Methods:230 school-going children and adolescents,aged 5 to 16 years of both genders completed a pre-tested questionnaire on age, ethnicity, nutritional status, socio-demographic data. Anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, and Body mass index (BMI)were obtained. Results: The mean height (cm) in boys and girls, at 5 years was 110.6 and 108.2, at 6 years was 114.2 and 112.6, at 7 years was 120.6 and 118.4, at 8 years was 126.4 and 122.6, at 9 years was 130.6 and 126.8, at 10 years was 140.2 and 134.2, at 11 years was 142.6 and 138.2, at 12 years was 150.6 and 145.2, at 13 years was 154.8 and 150.7, at 14 years was 162.5 and 154.2, at 15 years was 167.3 and 160.2, and at 16 years was 170.2 and 164.4 cm respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean weight (kgs) in boys and girls at 5 years was 15.4 and 14.3, at 6 years was 19.3 and 18.2, at 7 years was 22.5 and 20.3, at 8 years was 25.8 and 22.7, at 9 years was 30.7and 25.3, at 10 years was 35.4 and 28.2, at 11 years was 37.2 and 31.8, at 12 years was 40.8and 35.4, at 13 years was 45.0 and 38.2, at 14 years was47.2 and 41.9, at 15 years was 50.6 and 44.3, and at 16 years was 54.2 and 47.2 kgs respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). The mean BMI (Kg/m2) in boys and girls at age 5 years was 16.4 and 16.5, at 6 years was 14.2 and 15.4, at 7 years was 13.7 and 14.2, at 8 years was 14.2 and 14.9, at 9 years was 13.5 and 14.0, at 10 years was 16.4 and 16.0, at 11 years was 16.9 and 17.2, at 12 years was 17.2 and 17.4, at 13 years was 17.5 and 17.9, at 14 years was 18.5 and 18.9, at 15 years was 20.5 and 20.7 and at 16 years was 21.3 and 21.8 respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Boys exhibited higher height and weight as compared to girls of same age group in school going children.
