Results
In the present study, we have assessed 54 students (12 year old). Out of 54 there
were 24 boys (44.44%) and 30 girls (55.66%).
Out of 38 under weight student 8 (4boys and 4 girls) fall in sever under nutrition stage.
Mean BMI of student from all four group is shown in Table 4 and WHR of all four group
is shown in Table 5
Table 4 shows proportion of student at risk for health hazard due to obesity
according to WHR.
Table 5 shows hours of physical activity, time spend with TV and computer as
well as sleeping time in hour in all four group with SD.
Daily sports were practiced by boys (66.66%) more often than by girls (43.33%), The
sports most widely practiced by boys were cricket, judo and indoor game, whereas
