Background: Anthropometry and body composition analysis are important parameters to assess the health and fitness status of individuals. Studying the differences in anthropometry and body composition among populations can provide valuable insights into health disparities and inform targeted interventions to promote better health outcomes.

Aim: To examine the differences in anthropometric and body composition of the hill and valley Tangkhul males of Manipur.

Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 590 Tangkhul males were recruited through a random sampling method, with 350 participants from the hill and 240 from the valley. Body composition was assessed using the Drink water and Ross method of fractional masses. Anthropometric variables, blood pressure, and blood sugar were obtained following standardized procedures. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were employed to analyze the collected data.

Results: The findings revealed significant differences in the anthropometric measurements and body composition components of the two populations (p<0.05).

Conclusion: These outcomes suggest that the hill and valley Tangkhuls have regional variation in their anthropometric measurements, with the hill population displaying a more favorable body composition attributed to their healthier lifestyle and ecological setting.

Mental health practitioners working with young people should routinely screen for ROCD among youth and conduct systematic, multi-method, and multi-informant assessments whenever symptoms are identified. The importance of research on ROCD can only be understood when costly behaviors such as ROCD become prevalent in a society, it affects the upbringing of a children, deteriorates the anxiety level in people especially the adolescent, and could lead to violence, traumatic expression over an event, psychotic behaviors. In this study, the independent variables are self-compassion, emotion regulation and maladaptive beliefs. The present study seeks to address the following research questions: Will self- compassion predict relationship obsessive compulsive disorder among married people? Will cognitive reappraisal predict relationship obsessive compulsive disorder among married people? Will expressive suppression predict relationship obsessive compulsive disorder among married people? Will maladaptive beliefs predict relationship obsessive compulsive disorder among married people? The purpose of the study is to explore and provide an understanding to the roles of self-compassion, emotion regulation and maladaptive belief in relationship obsessive compulsive disorder. The findings of the study show that self-compassion was a significantly positive predictor of relationship OCD. It also shows that the dimensions of emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression) did not significantly predict relationship OCD. If further proves that maladaptive beliefs positively predicted relationship OCD, showing that increased maladaptive beliefs was associated with increase in relationship OCD. Recommendations are discussed.
