Aim: The major aim of this cross-sectional pilot survey is to determine the somatotype characteristics using Heath and Carter method in 6 to 14 year – old boys in the rural regions of the districts Chandauli and Mirzapur. Materials & Methods: The sample consists of 136 male children in the age span 6 to 14 years from the Chandauli and Mirzapur districts in Uttar Pradesh. The study was carried out in February and March 2014. Somatotyping of the subjects was determined with the help of the Heath-Carter formula. Mean and standard deviation were used to characterize the somatotyping of the male children. Socioeconomic conditions, nutritional inadequacies and geographical factors may have had an influence on the physical growth of the research population along with their genetic constitution. Results: (1) The maximum value for endomorphy 3.2 was found in the age group 11 years and minimum 2.7 was in 13year age groups. (2) The maximum value for mesomorphy (4) was found in the age group 6 years and minimum (2.7) in the 11 years. (3) The maximum value for ectomorphy (5) was found in 12 years and min (3.1) in the age group 6 years. Conclusions: In the age group 6 years, the mesomorphic component was dominant, but with age, that position went to the ectomorphic component in the 12 year’s age group. The endomorphic value was constant for the 8 to 10years age groups and was found to slowly fluctuate for higher age groups.
