Abstract
"The term 'adolescence' comes from Latin word adolescere, meaning ""to
grow"" or ""to grow to maturity"". It comprises of the penod from 13-18 years for
girls and 14-18 years for boys. They contribute to the human potential and
impart strength to the nation economy and development; hence the nuthtional
status is of great significance. Nutritional status of adolescent girls of residential
and non- residential schools was assed by nutritional anthropometry and diei
survey. The anthropometnc measurements were compared with Indian and
International standards to know the nutritional status by using Z-test. Good
nutritional status of the subjects can be seen only if good nutritious food
reaches to every section of the people i.e., the benefits should be distributed
evenly in the entire population. The intra and inter variations in calone intake
among different age group and schools should be minimum. The distnbution of
calorie intake per consumption unit is more important than the mean level
compansons. Therefore appropriate distributions for the data of Calorie intake
per consutnption unit for both the population were tried, the log normal and
normal distributions were found appropriate."
