All the students studying in Mandev Amrit Smriti School, Jhaukhel VDC of Bhaktapur District were included in the sample. The methods used were the interview, clinical history and check-up for provisional diagnosis. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to record information regarding name, age, sex, standard in which s/he was studying, physical examination/personal hygiene, anthropometric measurements, clinical findings, provisional diagnosis etc. The medical instruments used in the survey were: weighing machine, measuring tape, and thermometer. Common medicines like Jeevanjal packets, Albendazole tablets for deworming, Metron, amoxicillin, paracetamol, Tagyl etc were also distributed to the needy students.
The physical examination of all 118 students in age group ranging from 3 to 13 years of Mandev Amrit Smriti School situated at Jhaukhel VDc of Bhaktapur district was carried out. Thirteen health related problems were detected in this study. The most important three problems were ear problems (22.03%), worm infestation (16.10%) and dental caries (13.56%). Thus school health education should mainly aim at these problems and the care and cleanliness of ears and teeth by proper and regular brushing should be stressed. Applying Water low classification, 33% males were found normal as per their weight for age. 61.9% males were stunted and 4.8 % males were wasted. Likewise, 54.6% females were found normal as per their weight for age. 43.6% females were stunted and 1.8 % females were wasted.

样本纳入了巴克塔普尔区乔凯尔乡村发展委员会曼德夫·阿姆里特纪念学校的所有学生。采用的方法包括访谈、临床病史询问和初步诊断检查。使用半结构化问卷记录有关姓名、年龄、性别、所在年级、体格检查/个人卫生、人体测量、临床检查结果、初步诊断等信息。调查中使用的医疗仪器有：体重秤、卷尺和体温计。还向有需要的学生发放了如吉万贾尔包、驱虫用阿苯达唑片、美曲膦酯、阿莫西林、对乙酰氨基酚、泰吉尔等常用药品。
对位于巴克塔普尔区乔凯尔乡村发展委员会的曼德夫·阿姆里特纪念学校118名年龄在3至13岁的学生进行了体格检查。本研究中检测到13个与健康相关的问题。最重要的三个问题是耳部问题（22.03%）、蠕虫感染（16.10%）和龋齿（13.56%）。因此，学校健康教育应主要针对这些问题，并强调通过正确且规律的刷牙来护理耳朵和牙齿以及保持清洁。采用水低分类法，发现33%的男性按年龄体重正常。61.9%的男性发育迟缓，4.8%的男性消瘦。同样，54.6%的女性按年龄体重正常。43.6%的女性发育迟缓，1.8%的女性消瘦。
