 Objective: This study assessed the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on anthropometric measurements in college going young females in Lucknow, India. Method: This was cross sectional study of 400 females between 18 to 21 years of age selected by random sampling from 10 different colleges, two colleges from each region viz., North, South, East, West and Central region of Lucknow, India. Anthropometric measurements like Body mass Index (BMI) and percent body fat (PBF) as well as Dietary Status was measured using standard techniques. SES was assessed using modified Kuppuswamy’s socioeconomic status scale (2014). Results and Conclusion: BMI and Percent Body Fat as well as dietary status were observed to be more in the study population from upper SES group as compared to lower and middle SES groups. This study thus confirms that there is a significant correlation between socioeconomic status and anthropometric measurements in the sample group.
