Background: Waist circumference and waist hip ratio are major indicators of obesity. The present study was aimed at finding BMI, Waist Circumference and Waist hip Ratio in adults accompanying patients coming to Sadar Hospital, Ranchi. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Sadar Hospital, Ranchi by including 243 subjects. Pre-tested proforma was used to collect information by interview and clinical examination. Results: 42.8% respondents were non-vegetarian and 82% consumed junk food. 5.3% were obese as per BMI, 2.9% as per waist circumference and 9.9% as per waist hip ratio. Obesity needs monitoring and steps to prevent obesity is the need of the hour. [Reema K NJIRM 2017; 8(5):79-81]
