Answer 1

There are two techniques to findout body composition in rural school students..it is easy and cost saving and less time consumption method called skinfolds and bio-electrical impedance(BIA)..this all gold standard methods of assessing body composition..This is most feasible in school setup..
skin folds: This can be measured through skinfolds thickness measurements in the common parts..it is stable and confidential one..
Bio-electrical impedence is a easy assessable and provide immediate feedback for the students..it is easy portable one..and time saving method..this measurements can be done with student age,gender,height and weight..
Presentation for elementary school students about nutrition and health and how to eat healthy diet must be with practical education instead of verbal..so teaching method must be like chart presentation or drama presentation will be helpful..
-advice about green vegetables and fruits..by showing them particular fruits and vegetables they can get the information easily..And advice about how to avoid junk food and fatty diet through picture education..
-advice about outdoor activity instead of indoor games..by getting good physical activity they can get good appitite and easy digestion also will be there..and it will help them to loose their weight..
