Abstract

Background: From the perspective of the Global Corona pandemic situation for more than 10 months this work has been undertaken. Aggression is a cumulative outburst of several hyper emotions that can be searched and rectified to develop a healthy society. Aims and Objectives: This particular study is aimed to find out the anthropometric as well as biochemical predictors by which early detection of aggression/ hidden aggressive traits can be possible. Method: Children of 5 to 7 years are selected from four different schools of West Bengal, of which 180 children are chosen randomly and are divided into two groups namely the boys' group and the girls' group. Some anthropometric assessments including Craniofacial and palm dimensions; some biochemical parameters including serum BDNF and Cortisol and some basic Physiological parameters are assessed. Additionally, the Buss Perry Aggression questionnaire is employed. Result: All data are analyzed statistically and found that serum cortisol level, physical aggression, and anger are significantly higher in prepubertal boys than that of girls, and serum BDNF level is also found to be significantly lower amongst them than the girls. Correlation statistics ensure that higher values of endocervical angle possess some genuine relationship with lower serum cortisol level and lower 2D:4D ratio signifies higher scores of anger and hostility. Girls of the same age group also show a significant correlation between lower rates of 2D:4D ratio and increased scores of anger and verbal aggression. Conclusion: Under the circumstances of the global pandemic the following cross-sectional study concluded that the anthropometric indices project minor chances of growing aggression amongst the girls than those in boys in the pre puberty stage and it cannot be hypothesized without any biochemical assurance. Boys show growing tendencies of aggression from pre-puberty at least in this part of the world.
