Abstract
The present study was conducted to analyse anthropometric measurements of 75 Kashmiri Pandit infants between the ages of 0-18 months residing in migrant camps in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. Snowball sampling technique was used to select the sample. The anthropometric measurements viz, Length, Weight, Head circumference, Chest circumference and Mid arm circumference were recorded using standard techniques and compared with the ICMR standard. The anthropometric measurements i.e., Height, Weight and Mid arm circumference was higher where as Chest and Head circumference was similar to ICMR standard in case of girls but for boys all measurements were less then ICMR standard. Girls were both heavier and taller except in the age group of 12-18 months. The high degree coefficient of correlation was found between height and weight in all age groups except for 3-6 and 12-15 months of age groups where a low degree correlation was found. In case of Head and Chest circumference a low degree correlation was found in all age groups except for 6-9 months of age where a high degree positive correlation was found.
