ABSTRACT
Height-weight relationship in young healthy Indian males (16-21 yr) has been established for different states of India as well as for the combined data of all the states. It was observed that these relationships have large deviations of the intercepts and slopes from the intercept (a = 0.4) and slope (b = 0.8) of the Ehrenberg's equation. The results of the present study show that Ehrenberg's equation may not be applicable for young healthy Indian males aged 16-21 yr.
