The present study aims to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index(BMI) and Blood Pressure (Systolic Blood Pressure and Diastolic Blood Pressure) among the adult population of Monpas of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. Data on gender, height, weight, BMI and B.P were obtained by using a researcher data form. The data relating to the study were collected using standardised procedures. A total of 524 adult population participated in this study out of which 267 (50.95%) were males and 257(49.05%) were females with mean height, weight and BMI of 159.64 cm, 64.65 kg, 25.3 kg/m² respectively. The mean Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure were 126.57mmHg and 84.05mmHg respectively. The interrelationships between hypertension and obesity are two common and major health hazards. Hence the study was made to link up a relationship between these two parameters.
