Abstract The purpose of the study was, to assess and compare the blood pressure, body surface area, body composition and waist-hip ratio among different age groups in West Bengal. In order to draw an adequate representative sample, 90 Male subjects of age group between 31 to 45 years were selected by incidental sampling from the various places of Bankura, WB. Further they were divided into three groups of 30 subjects according to their level ofage i.e. 31 to 35, 36 to 40 and 41 to 45. To ascertain the accurate age, the researchers carefully verified the voter identity card ofthe participants. Systolic Pressure and Diastolic Pressure, Body Surface Area, Body Composition and Waist-Hip Ratio were the dependent variables. Descriptive Statistic and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed for deriving meaningful information from collected data. Forfurther analysis Post-Hoc Test (LSD Test) was applied. Level of Significance chosen was 0.05. In the light ofthe findings, significant differences existed in Blood Pressure, Body Composition and Waist Hip Ratio among different age groups. And there was no significant difference in Body Surface Area among different age groups. Effect sizes of the first four variables were found to be reasonably higher and better.
