A study of body mass index (BMI) with correlation to waist circumference (WC) among Mumuye and Ichen females in Taraba state, Nigeria was carried out. The female subjectsof the study were randomly selected from Jalingo and Kurmi Local Government Areas ofTarabaStates respectively. Overweight and obesity are the leading nutrition-related disorders of clinical and public health concern. Assessment and classification of these conditions are dependent on specific body mass index (BMI) cut-off points.The heights, weight, waist circumference of 320 females (160 Mumuye females; 160 Ichen females) were measured. Their BMIs were calculated from the heights and body weights. The results obtained showed a mean BMI of 23.3 ± 0.279kg/m 2 and 21.3 ± 0.112kg/m 2 for Mumuye female and Ichenfemale populations respectively. The waist circumference for Mumuye female was 74.4 ± 214and forIchenfemale population,it was 72.5 ± 0.0174. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed statistically significant (p<0.05) positive correlation between BMI and waist circumference in Ichen (r = 0.64) and Mumuye (r = 0.74) female populations.This study revealed that a strong positive correlation exists between the BMI and WC, and the BMI increases with an increase in the WC.
