The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between family sociodemographic characteristics (such as parental education, income, occupation, and family size) and the anthropometric measurements (such as height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference, head circumference, and waist circumference) of preschool children. The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of the factors affecting childhood growth and to inform interventions aimed at improving child health outcomes. Objectives: (a) Evaluate Anthropometric Measurements. (b) Analyze Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors. (c) Identify Disparities in children. Methods: This study based on Cross-sectional study design of sample size of 385 of Preschool children aged 3-5 years from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Data is collected through anthropometric measurements: Height, weight, head circumference, mid-upper arm circumference waist circumference and BMI recorded using standardized procedures and questionnaires is used to gather information on family income, parental education levels, household size, and other demographic factors. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents were educated, with 98.2% of their family members being literate and other socio-demographic status. Family factors such as parental education, income, family structure, and cultural influences can have a significant impact on a child's growth, nutritional status, and overall health. By addressing these sociodemographic factors, policies and interventions can be designed to improve the health and development of preschool children, particularly in vulnerable populations.
