During anthropometric research on 'Sveti Sava' elementary school pupils in village of Kakmuž beneath the mountain of Ozren, the authors expanded the re search scope to include the families of pupils. Using the different data sources (school registers, local community registers, different survey) we collected aboundant data: age, profession and education of parents, employment, average income, number of family members (productive and non-productive), number of siblings, order of birth, if the parents are divorced, if the family members were refugees, etc. According to the methodology ' Development Strategies of Bosnia and Herzegovina' (PRSP), all families were classified into three groups: rich, middle-class and poor. The aim was to de fine the social status and milieu in which the pupils grow up. Our interest was to prove the presence of relation ship between the family social status and the values of measured anthropometric parameters. By detailed analysis we tried to answer the question: is there a syndrome of 'wanted - rich' and 'unwanted - poor' child in rural areas? Also, the de tailed analysis can give in direct answers to some demo graphic problems of rural areas ( fertility, natality, etc.). The work was done as a team work in the field. .
