Background: Malnutrition among school children is a major public health problem, especially in developing countries. Assessment of nutritional status helps in early intervention and prevention of long-term health consequences.

Aim: To assess the nutritional status of school children using anthropometric measurements and identify factors associated with malnutrition.

Materials & Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 school children (6–15 years). Height, weight, BMI, Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), and dietary habits were evaluated. WHO growth charts were used for classification.

Results: 18% of children were underweight, 12% stunted, and 8% obese. Malnutrition was significantly higher in children from low socioeconomic status and those with poor dietary habits. Regular breakfast and intake of fruits/vegetables were associated with better nutrition.

Conclusion: The study highlights a dual burden of undernutrition and emerging obesity. School-based nutrition awareness and dietary interventions are necessary.
