Abstract
The cephalic index (CI) is calculated by measuring two fetal biometric parameters which are the occipitofrontal diameter (OFD) and the biparietal diameter (BPD). This index may gain through determination the ratio of BPD multiplied by 100 and divided by OFD. Cephalic index has tight correlation with growth and development which might be measurable by determining BMI. The aim of this study is to correlate the BMI and cephalix index among children of 6 – 8 year of age from several elementary school in Bandung City. This research was a cross sectional by using consecutive sample. The research’s subjects were 42 students of elementary school in Bandung City who were measured their body weight and height for establishing their BMI, subsequently the diameter of occipitofrontal and biparietal were assessed with a view to determine their cephalic index. Correlation analysis were used to assess any significant association between BMI and CI. Result. Research’s result shows that there is a negative correlation (r = -,334) with p-value=0,0153807 which significantly exhibits a correlation of 11,14 %. The research’s result concludes that the BMI does not shows any significant influence positively on the cephalic index.
