Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, waist circumferences and waist–hip ratio were evaluated. Results– Compå obesity and clinical periodontal parameters: Group–I (healthy) and Group–II (obese–I) were not statistically significant, whereas relationship between Group–1 (healthy) and Group–III (obese–II) as well as Group–1(healthy) and Group–IV (obese–III) were statistically significant .
