Let Mn, n > 3, be an oriented minimally immersed complete hypersurface in Euclidean space. We show that for n = 3, 4, 5, or 6, the index of Mn is finite if and only if the total scalar curvature of Mn is finite, provided that the volume growth of Mn is bounded by a constant times rn, where r is the Euclidean distance function. We also note that this result does not hold for n > 8. Moreover, we show that the index of Mn is bounded by a constant multiple of the total scalar curvature for all n > 3, without any assumptions on the volume growth of Mn.
