Colombo, 1987) Fernando, D.N.; Rajapakse, L.C.Anthropometric data obtained by measuring school children in the second year in school in a defined area was used to study the relative usefulness of the commonly used anthrometric indices and modes of presentation. Indices using height, though providing more information, seem not very practicable to be determined routinely at field level. An identifying beneficiaries of an intervention programme. It seems most appropriate to use the index weight for age and consider those below the third percentile to be the beneficiaries of such programmes, as this is likely to identify almost all moderately and severely undernourished. Such an identification is important as a preventive and promotive activity aimed at reducing the problem of undernutrition among children.Item Red blood cell, haemoglobin, white blood cell and blood sugar standards for Ceylonese adults(University of Ceylon.

Colombo, 2004) Wikramanayake, E.R.; Chandrasekera, M.S.The blood pressure of 496(227 males and 269 females) Uva -Bintenne veddas in the age range 1 to 80 years were recorded at Hennanigal South and Dambana. In both males and females there is no progressive increase of pressure with age. In the females both curves are more variable with the systolic pressure higher than in the males except in the age range 31-40 and the diastolic pressure higher up to 50 years. When compared with a 1989 study of a rural breeding isolate of the sinhalese the pressures of both males and females were significantly higher in the age range 1-15 years with no steep rise of the curve from 1-18 years. The aetiology of the difference is postulated to be genetic rather than environmental.Item Menarcheal age and nutritional status of Sri Lankan girls(SLMA.
