The present cross-sectional study was conducted among two male tribal groups Munda (n=106) and Oraon (n=104) aged 18–73 years of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal.
Objective was to evaluate the health status based on body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (PBF).
Measurements of weight, height, circumferences, and skinfolds were recorded.
Results revealed that mean age of Mundas (36.2±13.3) and Oraons (35.1±15.3) in years were similar.
Significant (P<0.05) ethnic differences in mean chest circumference and anterior thigh skinfold were observed.
Both Munda (50.0%) and Oraon (46.2%) males suffered from very high degree of chronic energy deficiency (CED) based on BMI.
Similarly, for percent body fat (PBF), Mundas (29.3%) and Oraons (35.4%) had unhealthy (too low) PBF (i.e., ≤5%) levels.
Significantly negative correlations were observed between age and BMI and positive correlations between age, waist-hip ratio (WHR), and conicity index (CI) (only Mundas) among Mundas and Oraons.
In Linear regression, age had a significant impact on all derived central and overall adiposity measures.
Prospective studies are required to determine the associations between health status and PBF as well as nutrition status and BMI in different indigenous ethnic groups of India and elsewhere.
