Children are not small adults. Growth (changes in size of the body as a whole or of its separate parts) and development (changes of function) consist of unique processes from birth to adulthood. Growth charts for height‚ weight and body mass index (BMI) are indispensable tools for both pediatricians and healthcare providers. They constitute not only the basic tools required for clinical evaluation‚ but are also useful for the purposes of public health and preventive medicine. On May 8‚ 2009 the Bureau

for one’s height and age. It is typically evaluated by measuring body mass index (BMI). According to the National Obesity Association (www.obesity.org)‚ BMI is calculated by dividing one’s weight in kilograms by the square of his/her height in meters (BMI = kg / m2). While the BMI of a person of normal weight is 18.5 - 24.9‚ the BMI of an obese person if above 30 (BMI over 40 is considered morbidly obese). BMI is an indicator of a medical condition when used in conjunction with other factors such

the body mass index‚ or BMI. It is a simple‚ easy to apply‚ index of weight-for-height that is commonly used in the medical filed to determine styles of body mass. Believe it or not there is a category known as underweight‚ and it is when your BMI is less than 18.5. Normal is when someone is between 18.5 and 24.9 BMI. This is followed by overweight which is anything from 25.0 to 29.9 BMI. Then the last‚ but not least is obese‚ which is considered anything greater than 30.0 BMI (Center for Disease Control

You find the individual BMI by a maths calculation using the height and weight of the person‚ its calculated by multiplying the weight in pounds by 703 then dividing the answer by the height in inches‚ The total number you get is BMI of the body‚ the‚ I also found out what the number mean for example if the BMI is less than 18.5 the body is under weight and if the BMI is 30+ the body is obese. Formula = Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches x Height in inches) x 703. A unit equal to the kilocalorie

Two-Variable Inequality (YOUR NAME HERE) MAT 221 (YOUR PROFESSOR ’S NAME HERE) February 10‚ 2014 Two-Variable Inequality We use inequalities when there is a range of possible answers for a situation. That’s what we are interested in when we study inequalities‚ possibilities. We can explore the possibilities of an inequality using a number line which is sufficient in simple situations‚ such as inequalities with just one variable. But in more complicated circumstances‚ like those with two variables
