There have been many anthropometric measurements and indices suggested for the assessment of the nutritional status of preschool children. Prominent among them are height, weight, circumferences of arm and calf, weight for height (%), weight/height, arm circumference/head circumference and chest circumference/head circumference. Classifications of malnutrition based on these measurements or indices have been in use.
