Background:Body mass index (BMI) is defined as the body mass (weight) divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m 2 . Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test measures the density of minerals present in the bones. Role of obesity as a risk factor for osteoporosis and its related consequences remains unsettled. This study was conducted to analyze the interplay between body mass index and bone mineral density in men, since most of those studies were conducted on women. Materials and methods:The study was done on 60 healthy males in the age group of 20years and above. Anthropometric measurement of height (m) and weight (kg) was done. Participants were categorized into three BMI groups according to WHO criterion. BMD of lumbar spine was determined using enCORE–based X-ray bone densitometer (Lunar Prodigy advance, GE Medical Systems, USA) based on DEXA scan. Diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia were done according to WHO Tscore criteria. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 21. Results: The result shows that subjects with higher BMI are having high BMD, decreasing the occurrence of osteoporosis. It was also evident that subjects in the higher age group were more prone of having osteoporosis, reflecting low BMD. Conclusion:From the results it can be concluded that BMI and BMD showed a positive correlation, whereas, advancing age is associated with low BMD.
