Abstract

Using a cluster sampling method, 1750 students (7 to 11 years old) were selected from student population of primary schools of different areas of ZAHEDAN. HEIGHT and WEIGHT were measured with standard methods and a questionnaire was filled for every student. The students were categorized in five groups and the comparisons were made using t-test.Results: In all age groups, students of governmental schools located in deprived suburban areas were shorter than the students of private schools (P<0.05) and their mean WEIGHT were about 6 kilograms lower (P<0.05). Comparison of all the students of ZAHEDAN with NCHS standards shows that their mean WEIGHT and HEIGHT (in all age groups) is significantly lowers (P<0.001).Conclusions: These findings implicate that socioeconomic factors may have a significant impact on growth and development of children. As another issue preparation of a national standard framework for measurement of children growth and development is necessary for future studies and have to come into consideration.
