A study was done as a part of Master’s project for finding out the trait of body type of urban college students near Kolkata, an Indian Metropolitan city. 124 college students (57 boys and 67 girls) were studied from two colleges of urban areas near Kolkata. The male students were 19.2(±1.4) year old in average whereas that of female students was 18.6 (±0.9). Average 167.2 (±6.8) cm tall boys were significantly taller than the girls’ height of 155.2(±6.2) cm in average. Significantly less body weight of 54.1(±10) kg in average was observed for the girl students than the average weight of 63.1 (12.3) kg for the boys. Both the groups were Mesomorphic endomorph body type with average values of 5.4(±1.8)-4.0(±1.6)-2.5(±1.7) and 7.4(±1.8)-3.9(±1.4)-2.0(±1.7) for boys and girls respectively. Though both the groups were Mesomorphic endomorph but the girls were more endomorphic than the boys when component values were considered in numerical number. High average adiposity was observed in the girls compare to the boys with moderate adiposity in average. Both the boys and girls were with moderate muscularity with very close mesomorph component indicating similar physical activities or similar intake of protein by both groups. A significant number of boys (29.8 %) and girls (25.4 %) were with low muscularity which might be due to poor socioeconomic condition of the family where they belong. 12.4 % boys and 10.4 % girls were with very poor muscularity which might be due to poor protein intake during their growing period or may be due to intake of less protein by their mothers during pregnancy which may have negative impact on the development of fetus resulting a child with poor mesomorph component continues during the adulthood. But for final conclusion more studies are required.
