Objective: Obesity has been linked to a variety of chronic diseases. Numerous researchers have discovered that having a high BMI is connected with substantial morbidity and mortality in the aged. As a result, obesity or being overweight may have a negative effect on everyday life. The main aim of our current research remained to look at association among BMI and Action of Everyday Living in Homecare Individuals.

Methods: The data for 2019 from Allied Hospital Faisalabad's homecare unit. During this time, 1125 students come to this clinic. Subjects who were unconscious or bedridden (hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and tetra paresis), as well as those with insufficient information, were eliminated from the research. As a result, the study was finished with 260 files including all of information required for our research. Age, ethnicity, BMI, and Barthel Index values have been entered into the statistical analysis software; p0.06 was deemed statistically substantial.

Results: One hundred fifty-one (61.5%) comprised females, while 97 (38.7%) were males. Age and sex, weight, and Disease activity index scores had no strong correlations. Weight and Barthel index scores had a strong positive connection, as did BMI and Barthel index scores (r = 0.196; p = 0.004). The cases remained separated into two sets: Unit I (low weight for height and normal weight) in addition Class Ii (obese and obese) (overweight and obese). Group II had significantly greater capacity to execute Activities of Daily Living than Group I (p = 0.003).

Conclusion: Many researches claim that overweightness protects in contradiction of activities of everyday living, whereas others claim reverse. Quality and outcomes of BMI and Activity of Daily Living abilities were found in our study, indicating protective benefits. The association among BMI and physical impairment has yet to be shown as linear.
