Abstract
Growth pattern of human population changes with time and place. Particularly developing countries, country like India, is in a stage of nutritional transition hence it is necessary to update growth references regularly. The present study is carried out on 0-10 years from Baramati from Pune district of Maharashtra. We considered that children from maternity homes, BCG camps, well baby clinics, immunization camps, private clinics, ‘Anganwadis and Balwadis’, Nurseries’ and schools etc. Our study shows that growth performance of Anthropometric indices for Baramati children is much less than National Centre of Health Statistics (NCHS) and slightly less than Indian Council of Medical Research ICMR and Affluent Indians (AI). We have proposed growth charts for Baramati region to monitor growth parameters. Keywords: Anthropometric Indices, NCHS, ICMR, AI.
