Abstract
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.
