Abstract

Purpose: -The purpose of the study was to find out relationship of body mass index with fat percentage and waist hip ratio of university boys. Methodology: - The subjects for this study were selected from G.G.V, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. A total of 100 university boys were selected. Age of the subjects ranged between 20 to 25 years. Selected Variables were body mass index (BMI), fat percentage (Fat %) and waist hip ratio (WHR). BMI was calculated from body weight and body height (kg/m2), Fat Percentage was measured by OMRON body fat analyzer and WHR was calculated as WC divided by HC. To find out relationship of body mass index with fat percentage and waist hip ratio, descriptive statistics and the Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was used. Findings: - There exists a significant relationship of BMI with Fat % (r = .903, p > .05) and WHR (r = .611, p > .05).
