Abstract ABSTRACT
Anthropometric assessment during pregnancy is a widely used; low technology procedure that has not
been rigorously evaluated. Our objective is to study and determine the anthropometric measurement and
examining changes during pregnancy. The study was performed the total 480 pregnant women from urban and
rural area of Marathwada region. The height and weight were measured by using digital scale and BMI (Body
Mass Index) was Calculated. The collected data was tabulated and analysed statistically. The result of the
present study regarding the selected anthropometric measurement of the selected pregnant women indicated
that there was non-significant effect of different education over body height. Result also revealed that the
pregnant women belonging to low, medium and high-income group were significantly affected on height,
Weight & BMI. The mean value of height and body weight of pregnant women of urban areas was noticed to
be significantly more than that of the pregnant women of rural areas (p<0.01). Whereas statistical analysis of
the data revealed that the pregnant women from urban and rural area did not differ significantly in their body
mass index values.
