The purpose of this study was to compare physical growth in school children (5 to 13 years old) in urban and rural parts of the Sangli district in Maharashtra, India. Biological factors such as sex, birth weight, and genetic makeup all influence growth. The effect of socioeconomic and environmental factors appears to be triggered by the presence of food deficiencies, parasitic infections, and psychological issues. A total of 2300 schoolchildren were enrolled in the study, with 1390 from urban schools and 910 from rural schools. Anthropometric measurements were obtained, such as height and weight. The height and weight of children in urban schools were statistically (p0.05) higher than those of children in rural schools. This was due to disparities in nutrition and socioeconomic status between urban and rural areas. In comparison to rural areas, urban communities had a better understanding of nutritional needs, the availability of a variety of meals, the prevention and treatment of recurring ailments, hygiene, and parental literacy.
