Abstract
This study investigated anthropometric indicators among 123 university students in Karshi city. The measurements included body height, body weight, chest circumference, waist and hip circumferences, while body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Statistical analysis revealed the presence of overweight, central obesity risk, underweight, and other health-related anthropometric thresholds among the students. The findings provide an important basis for the early detection of changes in youth, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, and the development of preventive measures.
