    Abstract:
    Anthropometric measurements are most often used in order to evaluate the state of nourishment and gain insight into body growth and development of children and young people. The use of different criteria in everyday practical work causes very diversified results and at the same time presents a problem in early detection of certain disorders of growth, development and state of nourishment and in undertaking adequate dietetic and therapeutic treatments. In Subotica 18864 persons from 8-19 years of age were examined by transverse anthropometric measurements of height and weight. By statistical processing of results mean values, medians and percentiles of body height, body mass and the body mass index, BMI (kg/m2) were established. These reference values present a base for producing nomogram of growth, development and state of nourishment in children and young people in our area which could be applied in everyday work at clinics.
