Abstract
Background: Changing in anthropometrics index can cause a reduction in the balance of body and may be considered as a contributing factor in falling down. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and static and dynamic postural balance among healthy subjects.
Materials and Methods: Fifty healthy male and female University students were selected through simple non-probability sampling. Static and dynamic stability index were measured by means of Biodex Balance System and also a tape measure and non-digital scale were used to examine Anthropometrics index. Obtained data were analyzed through Independent t-test and Pearson Correlation test(p0.05) (for example: the overall static stability index r= 0.21, p=0.30 in male group) while, there was observed a significant correlation between dynamic stability index and BMI, Weight and Height variables among male and female groups (p
