Our objective was to use a cross-sectional survey to analyse and collect anthropometric measurements of body waist circumference in school-aged adolescent boys and girls aged 9 to 12 from diverse socioeconomic groups. Increased waist circumference is linked to metabolic syndromes and diabetes in school-age boys and girls. Waist circumference is an essential metric that may be used to classify some school-aged children, especially given its link to anaemia. We discovered that the higher income group's (HIG) waist circumference was considerably greater than the lower income group's (LIG) in all age groups (LIG). In HIG, women's waist circumferences were bigger than men's in the same age groups. The assessment might be used to illustrate how social and economic changes in a community may have an impact on the growth patterns of boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 12. In addition to giving an additional measure of undernutrition in large population samples, this evaluation approach may be useful in the field for determining the prevalence of malnutrition, which includes obesity. This study is very socioeconomically significant and also provides straightforward indicators of metabolic health disorder.
