Abstract

The Present cross – sectional study was undertaken among the tribes of Chikhaladara Dist Amravati. This study used to investigate the hemoglobin percentage and body mass index (BMI) among male and female tribes of Chikhaldara region. Total 275 males and 319 females were taken for examination. Hemoglobin percentage were analyzed by sahli’s method and commonly used indicator is weight (wt) and height (ht) were measured to calculate body mass indies to evaluate nutritional status. The test of statistical significant (t test) was used to compare population groups. The normal values of hemoglobin percentage and BMI were not observed in any age groups of total served tribal people of chikhaldara region.
