Abstract (Original Language): 
A Cross-sectional study was carried out among randomly selected 360 school children, aged 6-18 years in Palus. The children were divided into four different age groups to study age trend. The descriptive statistics were computed from the data collected. The multiple regressions were carried out to predict weight from age and height. The children classified according to Body Mass index (BMI) into different categories. According to the reference chart of World Health Organization, significant number of children was found to be underweight. The significant positive correlations among age, height and weight of the children were observed. The results observed in the present study resonate with studies conducted by various researchers
