ABSTRACT
The relationship between height and weight in young healthy Indian girls (8--18 years) was developed. It is concluded that the relationship of the formlog w = 0.98 h + 0.14 holds good 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 may not be extended upto the age of 18 years in young healthy Indian girls.
