Abstract
Skin fold thickness of 4405 (2212 male and 2193 female) well-nourished school children between 5 to 15 years of age in five public schools of Haryana was measured by standard accepted technique. The findings of the present study were comparable with earlier studies conducted in well-nourished Indian school children at Hyderabad and with the British children. Children belonging to low income groups had smaller fat folds at all ages as compared to the present study.
