Abstract :

<p>Many accounts have been given on the relationship between health variables and intellectual development. Many studies have reported significant findings between health status indicators and cognitive test scores. The performance of mental ability of pupils with good health status were significantly higher than those of pupils with poor nutritional or health status as a whole. It is therefore essential in the Indian context to obtain as much information as possible to find out if there are any interrelationships between Body Mass Index, Basal Metabolic Rate, Body fat percentage and intelligence.</p>
