The objective of this study is to document anthropometric data of normal newborns in Himachal Pradesh. This work will definitely prove a contribution in the anthropometric study as hardly any research work is done on this subject in Himachal Pradesh.&#13;
Methods: 100 normal full term newborns comprising 50 males 50 females delivered in labor ward of civil hospitals in Himachal Pradesh, measured within12-24 hours after birth. The mean and SD values for different cranio-facial dimensions were obtained by using Digital caliper and non-stretchable measuring tape.&#13;
Result: All the parameters were significantly (p__ampersandsignlt;0.001) correlated to each other. With regards to head width, facial width showed the highest correlation (r=0.756) in females, (r=0.686) in males as compared to other anthropometric parameters. Facial width is the best surrogate to predict head width. Parson__ampersandsignrsquo;s correlation coefficient for head circumference showed high significant with head length (r=0.617), head width (r=0.617), facial width (r=0.673) in males. The mean value and standard deviation (Mean__ampersandsignplusmn;SD) for different craniofacial anthropometric parameters were obtained and high significant was found in nasal height for male and female (p=0.0042).&#13;
