11 Indicators of a healthy body weight:1. Waist Circumference 2. Waist to Hip Ratio 3. Body Mass Index (BMI) 4. Body-Fat Percentage 5. Growth Chart P. 393 in the text
12 Waist Circumference Waist circumference common measure used to assessabdominal fat content. excess body fat in the abdomen that is out of proportion to total body fat is considered a predictor of risk factors and illness associated with obesity.
13 Measuring CircumferenceHow to measure waist circumference: Measure the smallest area found below the rib cage but above the umbilicus (bellybutton).
14 What Waist Size is Risky?Risky waist circumferences differ for men and women. Men at risk - waist measurement greater than 40 inches (102 cm) Women at risk - waist measurement greater than 35 inches (88 cm)
15 Waist-to-Hip Ratio? Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is the ratio of a person's waist size to hip size mathematically calculated as the waist size divided by the hip size. For most people, carrying extra weight around their middle increases health risks more than carrying extra weight around their hips or thighs.
16 Risky Ratios For both men and women, a waist-to-hip ratio of 1.0 or higher is considered "at risk" or in the danger zone for undesirable health consequences (i.e., heart disease).
17 Healthy Waist-to-Hip RatiosFor men, a ratio of .90 or less is considered safe. For women, a ratio of .80 or less is considered safe.
18 What is BMI? BMI stands for Body Mass Index.Put simply, BMI is a common measure expressing the relationship of weight-to height.
19 What is My BMI? The Body Mass Index FormulaA person’s BMI can be calculated using a simple mathematical formula. BMI =[Weight in pounds ÷ Height in inches ÷ Height in inches] x 703
20 A person weighing 210 pounds and 6 feet tall would have a Example BMI A person weighing 210 pounds and 6 feet tall would have a BMI = 210 pounds divided by 72 inches divided by 72 inches multiplied by 703 = 28.5
21 BMI and Your Health? A healthy BMI for adults is between 18.5 and 24.9. BMI ranges are based on the effect body weight has on disease and death. A high BMI is predictive of death from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis (consequences of being overweight as an adult). Obesity itself is a strong risk factor for premature death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo6QNU8kHxI
22 BMI Cut points for AdultsWe interpret BMI values for adults with one fixed number, regardless of age or sex, using the following guidelines: Underweight: BMI less than 18.5 Overweight: BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 Obese: BMI of 30.0 or more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXauQiC12qg – calculating bmi ~4 mins
