    Although I am seventy one inches tall, I want you to notice the H = 71. Although I am 180 pounds in weight, so used this W = 180. Consequently, I plug into both of the values into my formula’s, the BMI= (703* 180)/ (71^2 which is 71 square means that 71 multiplied is 5,041. Now 703*180 is 703 multiplied by 180 equals to 126,540. Consequently, I have the BMI which is = 126,540/5,041. Now with me using this calculation I performed a much longer division of 126,540 divided now by 5,929 it is close to the equivalent 25.10, when you round down it is based on the 2 which is in the thousandths place valued system ( from 0,000 to 0,0049/ and up from to 0,005 to 0.00999). To this my BMI is 25.10, this falls in the range between the 25 and 29.9 mean I that I am most lightly over weight at some…

    The Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator to help people to determine if they might have a longer life span than average, are probably not overweight, are probably overweight, or are obese. The intervals for each are from 17 to 22, 23 to 24.999, 25 to 29.9, and over 30 respectively. Notice that it is between 17 and 22. That is not inclusive but rather a compound inequality statement which is 17 < BMI < 22. Moreover, over 30 is an inequality statement with a positive infinity which is any BMI that is greater than 30, or BMI > 30 which will be written as (30, +∞). Anyway, my BMI will be calculated, and I will explain…

    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has examined the changes in the distribution of adults within four categories of body weight: underweight, normal, overweight, and obese. These categories have been defined in federal guidelines by measuring body-mass index. Body-mass index is a measure that standardizes weight for height. Obesity in adults is generally defined as a BMI of 30.0 or greater, with BMI of 25.0-29.0 categorized as overweight. The CBO analyzes how past changes in weight distribution have affected the health care spending per adult and also projects how future changes could affect future spending.…

    The prevalence of childhood obesity has more than tripled over the last three decades. In 1980 the rate of obesity among U. S. children aged 6-11 was 6.5% however, according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (2010), in 2008 that number soared to 19.6%. Obesity rate for teens 12-19 years of age also saw a substantial increased, from 5% to 18.1% (National Center, 2010). Although there is no concise definition for childhood obesity the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that a child with a BMI of 85% to less than 95% is considered overweight and "those children with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of greater than the 95th percentile are considered obese" (AAP, n.d.). The Body Mass Index was invented by Adolph Quelet in the mid 1800s and while it is not a direct measure of body fat percentages, it does "correspond to direct measures of body fat", such as underwater weighing, bioelectrical impedance, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (CDC, 2009). BMI is the ratio of height in meters squared to weight in kilograms. It is important to note that BMI calculations are specific to age and gender and children should not calculated using adult ranges (Philippas & Clifford, 2005). Additionally, BMI does not reflect muscle mass, which is why it should be use in conjunction with clinical judgement "in the assessment of children who have high physical activity levels and increased muscular development" (Philippas & Clifford, 2005). However, it is well documented that children with BMI measurements above 85% are at an increased risk comorbidity factors as well as increased risk of becoming an obese adult.…
