They were enrolled in 2 provinces: Thuathien- Hue and Thanhhoa in the central northern  of Vietnam. The indices evaluate anthropometric parameters for age (including: weight, height, head circumference, neck circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, chest circumference, abdomen circumference, and hip circumference). Results showed that: The basic anthropometric indexes of central northern  people development follow rules of body growth of Vietnamese people. However, weight and height of students in this study were relatively low due to a high malnutrition rate, psychological influences, physical activitity and economic and natural conditions are important factors which have an effect on the health, morphology and physical status of students.
