Aim: To determine the relationship of grip and pinch strength to body mass index among dental professionals. Methodology: In this cross sectional study total number of 150 dental professionals, aged 22 to 40 years, who fulfilled selection criteria, were recruited through Purposive sampling. Participants height, weight, body mass index, grip strength, lateral pinch strength, Pad to Pad pinch strength and Tip to Tip pinch strength were then assessed. All measurements were taken by using standardized procedures. The data collected was analyzed by using Pearsons correlation test. Results: The inferential statistics had shown that there was a significant positive correlation between body mass index and grip strength with correlation coefficient (r) value of 0.233 (p = 0.004), body mass index and lateral pinch strength with of r value 0.259 (p value = 0.01), body mass index and pad to pad pinch strength with r value of 0.209 (p value = 0.05), body mass index and tip to tip pinch strength with r value of 0.169(p value = 0.05). Conclusion: The study shows that there is a significant weak positive correlation between body mass index and Grip strength, body mass index and lateral pinch strength, body mass index and pad to pad pinch strength & body mass index and tip to tip pinch strength.
