Introduction: Estimation and evaluation of growth of children undergoing orthodontic treatment is of great importance. Body mass index percentile offer quick, non-invasive estimation of development status whereas onset of menarche is an important biologic indicator in assessing the physiologic maturity in girls. Assessment of skeletal maturity with hand-wrist radiograph is also reliable, predictable and popular method. Aim: To correlate between body mass index percentile, age at menarche with hand wrist radiograph in female population. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, from May 2022 to March 2024 with study population of 100 Bengali girl between 9-15 years age whose origin within six months of onset of menarche were selected. BMI was measured individually, and Hand-wrist X-ray was taken for assessment of skeletal age of every individual. The collected data was tabulated using Microsoft Excel 2019 and then statistical analysis was carried out using the GraphPad Prism for Windows, Version 9.5. Results: Mean age of the study subjects was found to be 12.41±1.41 years, mean BMI was found to be 18.62±2.7 kg/m². Majority of the study subjects were found to be healthy (66%) at stage VIII of skeletal maturity. Conclusion: Obese girls had the onset of menarche at an early stage followed by Overweight girls then Normal weight girls whilst the underweight girls had their late menarche. The correlation between SMI method and the onset of menarche was statistically insignificant but significant correlation was found between BMI percentile and SMI staging method.
