title: [Proposal for a nutritional study using a survey of anthropometric data on school-age children from the Molise countryside].
abstract: The present work is a preliminary study, preceding a larger one in the Molise countryside ; its aim is to set out methodological and operative basis to estimate the nutrition state of children aged 6-10 years, through a survey of anthropometric data. The list of considered parameters is here related. From the analysis of the different parameters it comes out that the tested population shows a trend to have a body weight too high compared to its height. That involves a more thick-set and less long-limbed body structure. Although the sample is small in number, the results enable us to believe that carrying on the study on a vast scale is suitable.
