ABSTRACT
Height-weight relationship in young healthy Indian males (19-22 yrs.) has been established. It is concluded that the relationship of the form log w = 1.18 + 0.35 h fits well to the data on height h (in metres) and weight w (in kilograms) for this group of subjects, the logarithm is taken to the base 10. The results of the present study show that Ehrenberg's equation of the form log w = 0.8 h + 0.4 cannot be extended beyond the age of 18 years in young healthy Indian males.
