Body composition of two tribal populations of Keonjhar, Orissa, India: A comparison
There exits virtually no data on body composition among Indian tribes. The objective of the present study was to record the body composition of two tribal populations, namely, Bathudis and Savars. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Anandapur village of Keonjhar District, Orissa, India. A total of 409 (226 men and 183 women) Bathudi and 600 Savar (300 men and 300 women) adult (> 18 years) individuals were studied. Anthropometric and body composition variables were made or computed following standard techniques and equations. Both the tribes had similar height. Savars had greater mean values (except for FFM and FFMI in men) of all anthropometric and body composition variables compared to Bathudis, in both sexes. In conclusion, the present study provides unique data on body composition profile of adult Bathudis and Savars, two tribal populations of Orissa, eastern India. These data may form a valuable source of comparison.
