Abstract

Background: Anthropometric measurements and indicators are crucial factors for research in human morphology and development. Objectives: 1. Collect anthropometric measurements (weight, standing height, sitting height, head circumference, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference) and calculate anthropometric indicators (BMI, Skelic) for students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 2023 – 2024. 2. Physical fitness classification of students at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy in 2023 – 2024. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 760 students aged 18 to 23 studying at the university from July 2023 to October 2024. Results: The average body weight was 66.39 ± 11.90 kg in males and 51.93 ± 7.93 kg in females, while the average stading height was 169.12 ± 6.28 cm in males and 157.94 ± 5.35 cm in females. The physical fitness classification results indicated that more than 80% of students achieved good fitness level, whereas less than 10% having poor or weak fitness levels. Conclusion: Anthropometric measurements and indicators are significantly higher in males than in females. Most students achieved good level in physical fitness classification results.
