Abstract

The present study assessed anthropometric measurements of adolescents in Agartala, Tripura, with the goal of examining the nutritional status of the adolescent Bengalee and tribal male populations. Data for the anticipated research were collected from currently enrolled students. Children who are enrolled in school were separated into age groups starting at 12 and going up to 18. The study includes seven different age groups (age group 12 to 18). In total, 280 individuals were selected (Bengalee 140 & Tribal 140). Data was analyzed using SPSS. According to the study's findings, adolescents in Agartala are significantly less nourished and Bengalee boys are taller and heavier than Tribal boys.
