Abstract

Health and nutrition in early stages of human life determine, to a great extent, the physical and mental well being of a person. Childhood is a crucial period of physical and cognitive development. The consequences of ignoring the changing nutrition needs and burden of disease are grim. Nutrition refers to the appropriate intake of nutritionally adequate food in relation to the body?s dietary needs. Over Nutrition is a state of nutrition in which one or more of the components of a healthy diet are consumed to excess such that adverse medical effects of that excessive intake are apparent and measurable. In India most of the school going children prefer indoor games and sedentary lifestyle. The present study was designed with main objectives, to assess the socio demographic and anthropometry of boarding hostel boys. Two hundred children (13-17years) were selected through the random sampling method from one children?s home in Cuttack, Odisha.
