The height and weight of each student were measured using Anthropometric measurement tools and the SAT used to check the students’ reading and writing comprehension The majority of the underweight students had a lack of reading and writing skills, whereas the majority of well-nourished students had good skills of reading and writing in all three languages e.g. Sindhi, Urdu, and English.
