Abstract	background:Because of an unhealthy diet, obesity is leading in adolescents nowadays. However, a higher BMI can create various diseases or functional abnormalities. The negative consequences of higher BMI extend well beyond physiological aspects obese individuals are less efficient and greater at risk for injury than normal-weight individuals in a larger number of work-related tasks and daily activities that involve upright standing positions. Aim: This present study aims to evaluate the effect of Body Mass Index on Core Stability and Dynamic Balance in young adults of Anand District. Materials and Methods: A total number of 198 adolescents were screened by taking their BMI-containing measurements of height and weight. Among this total of 60 participants were extracted and further assessed for core stability and balance using reliable tools such as star tape, yoga mat, stopwatch, and measure tape. The prone Plank Rating Score was used to analyze core stability. SEBT was used to check the balance in every direction. It was factorial analysis therefore participants who failed to perform SEBT were also included in the result. Results and Discussion: Statistical analysis of the study was done using SPSS version 29 software. The data was entered into the computer using a Microsoft Excel sheet, tabulated, and subjected to statistical analysis. The Mean and SD values for different variables like age were 21 ± 1.60 years, and BMI was 26.27 ± 3.00. Balance was assessed by SEBT right and left in every direction. Core stability was analyzed using Prone Plank mean 50.87 ± 40.11. The association between all these values was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation method and found weakly negative and weakly positive correlations. Conclusion: The current study concludes that higher BMI can affect balance and core stability. However, the associations are weakly negative for each other.
