Background: Balance refers to an individual’s ability to maintain their line of gravity within their base of support. Agility can be defined as the ability to change direction rapidly. With age, individuals display impaired balance control, particularly those that are frail and/or have sensory deprivations. High body mass index value has also been linked to balance and agility but there is deaths of studies performed to link and establish concrete association between body mass index, balance and agility among people of various age groups.
Objectives: To determine the correlation of body mass index with static balance, dynamic balance and agility in various age groups.
Methodology: A total number of 120 subjects of age between 15 to 60 years were analyzed by standing stork test, star excursion test and quadrant jump test to assess the static balance, dynamic balance and agility respectively.
Result and conclusion: The results of this study suggest that there is significant level of correlation of BMI with static balance in 31-45 age group, no significant correlation with dynamic balance and significant level of correlation of agility at 15-30 and 46-60 age groups of healthy individuals. The current study suggests that significant correlation was found for underweight BMI group for static balance and overweight BMI group for dynamic balance in anteromedial direction, posterior direction and anteromedial direction when all the age groups are combined and divided into BMI categories.
