Objectives: The purpose of this study was of two-fold, firstly, to evaluate the anthropometric profile of Indian computer students and, to search the correlation of hand grip strength with other anthropometric characteristics studied. Methods: To serve this purpose, fourteen anthropometric characteristics, viz. height, sitting height, weight, BMI, knee height, thigh height, leg length, bi-trochantric diameter, waist and hip circumferences, percent body fat, percent lean body mass, hand grip strength (right dominant) and back strength were measured on purposively selected 208 Indian computer students (108 males and 100 females) aged 18–25 years (mean 21.67 years, ± 1.61) collected from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. An adequate number of non-computer users (n = 208, 108 males and 100 females, mean age 21.72 years, ± 1.69) were also collected as controls from the same place for comparisons. Results: O ne way analysis of variance showed significant between-group differences (p≤ .001 - .000) in all the variables studied, except the hip circumference, in computer students and controls. In Indian computer students, significant positive correlations (p≤ .05 - .01) were found in hand grip strength and height, sitting height, leg length, back strength (in both sexes), knee height (only in females), and weight, BMI, bi-trochantric diameter, waist circumference, hip circumference, % body fat and % lean body mass (only in males). Conclusion: Despite of their higher BMI status, Indian computer students had both lower handgrip strength and back strength than their control counterparts, because of, may be, their poor physical activity in work stations.
