BMI is an accepted practice to measure a person’s weight class for little more than a decade. Here are five facts you probably did not know about BMI.
1. The Body Mass Index (BMI) system is a popular system where most people are familiar, but few know how this system arose. A Belgian man Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet, studied the concept and measurement of the “average person”. He published his conclusions he drew from this study in 1835. The cutoffs for “underweight,” “normal weight”, “overweight” and “obesity” were determined at a meeting of the World Health Organization in 1995.
2. Most people calculate their BMI only after they have been to the doctor. You might think it’s a complicated formula that only doctors know, it’s actually a fairly simple formula that anyone can calculate. Share your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in cm’s. Round your final result to one decimal place, and this is your BMI. If the suits between 18 and 25 is, you are “healthy”.
google_ad_channel = “7940249670, ” + AB_cat_channel + AB_unit_channel;
google_language = “en”;
google_ad_region = ‘test’;
3. The BMI system is often seen as an accurate indicator of the risk of a person’s heart disease, but in recent years there has been much disagreement about the correctness of this assumption. BMI is apparent therefore no longer to be as accurate as once adopted for the calculation of the fat percentage. Critics of this system can be argued that this measurement takes no account of body composition. Because each person is so different, there is no general formula that is applicable. Recent studies have shown that people classified as “overweight” are classified survive longer after diagnosis of heart disease than people with “normal weight.”
4. While the general formula for bereknen BMI for men and women, the results are interpreted in different ways based on gender. Men generally have a more muscular body, while women have a higher percentage of muscle. For this reason, women tend to have a healthy weight with a Body Mass Index of 25%, while a healthy man with a BMI of about 15% would have. This is due to the fact that, as previously mentioned, the BMI does not take into account the body composition. So the results should be interpreted differently.
Especially women over 50, their BMI is fine, but in reality they have more fat than muscle and bone. For men the opposite is true. Those words often heavily assessed, because they have a larger muscle mass. And muscles are heavy.
5. Waist-hip ratios are becoming a general indication of the risk of heart problems. This measurement is a ratio that takes into account the circumference of your waist at the widest area and circumference of your waist at its narrowest part. People who have more of their weight around their middle, have a greater chance of suffering a heart attack than people with more weight on their hips.
