Abstract
The present paper deals with the effects of parental consanguinity on the anthropometric measurements of 4,823 newborn babies at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh in relation to the socio-economic status of the parents. Inbreeding caused diminution of all anthropometric measurements recorded (weight, height, chest girth, calf girth, head girth, head length) except head breadth. Significant differences in the anthropometric measurements as related to consanguinity were seen only in the lower socio-economic class.
