Background: Obesity, a chronic noncommunicable disease, is one of the most rapidly growing health problems worldwide. It is associated with many health consequences, including hypertension, other cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, obstructive sleep apnea, stroke, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Body mass index (BMI) is identified as an independent criterion to diagnose diseases like hypertension and cardiovascular disease, which are associated with both morbidity and mortality. Objective: In the present study, an attempt has been made to find out the BMI patterns and the distribution of overweight and obesity among undergraduate students. Materials and methods: The sample size was calculated as 160 using EpiTools software. Height in centimeters and weight in kilograms were recorded. The response frequencies and descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviations, were calculated and analyzed using MS Excel. Results: We found that out of a total of 160 students, 93 (58%) had a normal BMI, 38 (24%) were overweight, and 6 (4%) were obese. The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity among the male participants was 25.53%, which was lower compared to 30.30% among the females. Conclusion: Changing sedentary lifestyles, reducing the consumption of red meat and fat-rich diets, performing regular physical exercises, practicing yoga and meditation, and undergoing regular health checkups could benefit students in preventing obesity and its associated risk factors.
