The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maternal body mass index (BMI) and maternal anthropometric measurements in black South African pregnant women, both with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional observational study design was used. Two hundred black South African pregnant women were recruited of which 90 were HIV\u2010infected and 110 were HIV\u2010uninfected. The anthropometric measurements assessed included mid\u2010upper arm circumference (MUAC), tricep skinfold (TSF), subscapular skinfold (SSF), mid\u2010arm muscle circumference (MAMC), wrist circumference (WC), frame size, and BMI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maternal age was significantly associated with changes in maternal anthropometric measurements. Maternal BMI was significantly correlated with other maternal anthropometric measurements including MUAC, TSF, SSF, MAMC, WC, and frame size. The anthropometric measurements that were found to be accurate for assessing obesity in pregnancy included TSF (\u226520.75\u2009mm), SSF (\u226521.75\u2009mm), MAMC (\u226525.23\u2009cm), and WC (\u226516.25\u2009cm). Additionally, SSF (\u226515.75\u2009mm) and MAMC (\u226523.35\u2009cm) could be used to assess for overweight nutritional status. Lastly, frame size could be used to assess for underweight (\u226510.05) and normal (\u22659.95) nutritional status. No significant anthropometric differences were observed between the HIV\u2010infected pregnant women and the HIV\u2010uninfected pregnant women in this study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surrogate anthropometric measurements offer a simple solution for assessing nutritional status in pregnant women. MUAC was the most accurate method for identifying overweight and obesity. Furthermore, maternal HIV status did not affect the anthropometric
