Blood lipid index: The suitable range of serum total cholesterol obtained from investigation is140mg/dl-199mg/dl, and the most suitable value for China people is 180m g/d l (if there is coronary heart disease, the blood lipid should be controlled below 180m g/d l). Abnormal blood lipids will accelerate the occurrence of arteriosclerosis and damage the kidneys.
Body mass index (BMI): The epidemiological study in China determined that the BMI (weight divided by the square of height) was between 18.5kg/m2 and 23.9k g/m2, while the overweight line determined by the World Health Organization was 25 and the bottom line was 18.5. For China people, if the body mass index exceeds 24, they are prone to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and stroke. Obesity in China is getting more and more serious, but the weight loss should be moderate, not at the bottom line of 18.5.
