Aim of study: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of obesity among students at Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti and its connection to anthropometry indices. Patients and methods: Type of study is cross sectional study. Afe Babalola University was the site of the study, with samples drawn at random from students at the several colleges. The age considered was between 18-25 years old of both male and female. Using the formula BMI=weight in Kg/height in meter squared, we assessed height using a tape measure and weight using a weighing scale. Result: Out of the 113 male students, 59.3%, 9.7%, 18.6%, and 12.4% were normal weight, underweight, overweight, and obese, whereas out of the 161 female students, 52.2%, 8.7%, 27.3%, and 11.8% were normal weight, underweight, overweight, and obese respectively. A significant positive correlation is found between neck circumference and the BMI, waist circumference, in female normal weight. A significant positive correlation is found between neck circumference and the waist circumference, in female overweight and obese group respectively. A significant positive correlation is found between wrist circumference and the waist circumference, hip circumference in male normal, while a positive significant correlation was observed between wrist circumference and height, BMI, waist circumference and weight in female normal. A significant positive correlation is found between wrist circumference and the height, weight in male overweight group, while a positive significant correlation was observed between wrist circumference and hip circumference, weight in female overweight. In the obese group a significant positive correlation was observed between the wrist circumference with the height and waist to hip ratio in male while waist to hip ratio in female. Conclusion: Neck and wrist circumference had significant positive correlation with waist circumference and BMI in the female than male subject at normal, overweight and obese.
