Abstract
Background: ABO blood group is the most important of all blood group systems. A and B antibodies are present naturally in individuals from birth who lack the corresponding antigen on their red cells.

Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which was conducted in the Department of Physiology Of IIMSR, Lucknow in collaboration with department of Medicine. Data collection was done over a period of 6 months and a sample size came out to be 384 Anthropometric parameters were recorded using a standardized scale and blood group sampling was done in department of physiology using slide agglutination method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0.

Result: Blood group distribution of individuals with normal BMI was 6.7% with O negative, 3.6% with O positive, 5.4% with A negative, 4.1% with A positive, 6.5 % with B negative, 2.8 % with B positive, 10.4% with AB negative, and 8.3% with AB positive.
