2. THE SOMATOTYPE
 The Somatotype represents a
criteria utilized to find out
body composition and it had
been inspired by different
factors along with nutrition. It
is a study which is going to
find out somatotype along
with nutritional status. They
are going to find out
somatotype variations in
connection with age along
with the nutritional status.
The study was conducted
among the adult males in the
Sabar community from a
district named Purulia in West
Bengal.

3. CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
 In cross-sectional study, it consists of
300 Sabar males who come under
the age of 19 to 59 years. There are
anthropometric measurements which
consist of weight, height, 2 breadths,
4 skinfolds and 2 circumferences
under the standard protocol. The
Somatotype have been found as per
Heath-Carter method along with Body
Mass Index which were utilized to
reach the standard of nutrition. The
Descriptive statistics, Pearson
correlation, Kruskal-Wallis H test,
Chi-square test, Spearman
correlation have been carried out to
search correlation, variation, and
relation of somatype components as
per nutritional category and age.

4. TREND IN UNDERNUTRITION
 The ethical clearance were
received. Finally, there is a trend
in undernutrition which have
been improving with the age. It
had been discovered as the
highest in the aged people and it
is between 50 and 60 years
having total prevalence of about
49.7%. There are somatotype
subgroups and it is 12 in total
(Satpati & Kumar Sharma,
2021). Mean somatotype of
participants have been 2.3–3.6-
3.9 which shows the
mesomorph-ectomorph body
form. The Kruskal-Wallis H test
showed a lot of differences in the
somatotype parts in various
nutritional category.

5. UNDERNUTRITION
 The undernutrition have been
discovered as the top in
mesomorphic ectomorph which
is 62%. The Chi-square test
shows a lot of association
between the somatotype
categories along with the
nutritional statuses whose Chi-
square = 283.160, p < 0.01. It has
been the initial reporting on study
of somatotype in the community
of Sabar. There is a dominant
body form which is mesomorph-
ectomorph. It has been quite
important correlation found
between the BMI and
somatotype. The study shows
the requirement for instant
intervention of nutrition.

6. RECORDS OF WHO AT THE TIME OF WORLD
FOOD DAY 2019
 At present there a lots of people in world who have
been suffering from various types of malnutrition.
There has been approximately 1.9 billion adults
who were overweight. On the other hand, there are
462 million who are underweight as per the records
of WHO at the time of World Food Day 2019. The
researchers had pointed out the malnutrition to be
the prime reason behind disability, death and ill-
health along with the risk factor for a disease in the
countries of the Third World (Das et al, 2021) .

7. THE PRESENCE OF MALNUTRITION IN INDIA
 We have found the presence of malnutrition in India and it is quite high.
There are different studies which were conducted to assess nutritional
status by utilizing various anthropometric variables and the common one
is Body Mass Index in connection with the sex, age, occupation along
with the socio-economic condition in various corners of India particularly
in tribal groups (Sen & Bhakat, 2020). The researchers think that the
human health is associated with BMI which is not proper to create insight
for nutritional status as this is not associated with sufficient substitute for
the somatotype. There is a Sheldonian classification on somatotype
which has been a description method along with quantification of a
particular human body on shape and composition scales. They are
endomorphy comparative fatness which had been used by a rounded
shoulder, short neck, broad face, rounded physique. The mesomorphy
has been comparative musculoskeletal robustness having broad
shoulder along with the chest plus strong limbs. There is an ectomorphy
having slim physique, flat chest, narrow chest along with long limbs.
They have been changed by Heath and Carter. The classification has
been identified as the anthropometric somatotype method. They are
beneficial for different fields in ageing and growth. There is body image
along with sports profiling.

8. SABAR MALES UNDER AGE GROUP 18 TO
60 YEARS
 From a study, there are 300 Sabar males under age
group 18 to 60 years. They have been found in
Purulia district, West Bengal. Purulia has been a
district located on the west of West Bengal. It had
been 250 km far from Kolkata (Khattri et al, 2021).
The data had been acquired from 16 villages within
four administrative blocks, which are as follows:

9. VILLAGES OF PURULIA
 Purulia-I, the name of village is Akarbad.
 Manbazar-I , the name of villages are Kuda, Punru,
Bamni, Jonarah, Jabla, Kasidih and Makarkendi.
 Puncha, the name of villages are Damodarpur,
Babuijor, Balakdih, Bankanali and Bengthupi.
Bandwan , the name of village is Amjharna and
Popo.

10. BANGABASI COLLEGE’S RESEARCH AND
ETHICS COMMITTEE
 Most of the participants have been chosen in the
form of random associated with study. They have
been discovered in the physical level and mental
level (Tsukru et al, 2021). They had not suffered
from illness during study. There is a study protocol
which have been approved by Bangabasi College’s
Research and Ethics committee under University of
Calcutta, West Bengal. They had taken permission
from local administration. Prior to the starting of
study, there were participants who got information
and objectives were explained. They had taken
permission.

11. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS ON
ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES
 The descriptive statistics on anthropometric
variables, age and somatotype components were
shown in Table. The mean (±SD) age on
participants have been 38.9 (±13) years under 18 to
60 years. On the basis of BMI, there is a mean
value which is 19 (±2.2) kg/m2. The mean of the
somatotype components include the mesomorphy,
endomorphy, and ectomorphy was 2.3(±0.9)-
3.6(±1.1)-3.9(±1.3). The total outcome showed that
those who joined were mesomorph-ectomorph
body type. The somatotype values on participants
have been plotted using somatochart checking the
mean values of X (1.6 ± 2.0) and Y (1.1 ± 2.9)
coordinates.
