Body Mass Index (in English) is a number obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters, and it is a commonly used international standard to measure obesity and health. When we need to compare and analyze the influence of a person's weight on the health of people of different heights, the body mass index is a neutral and reliable indicator. ?
The weight in kilograms divided by the height in square meters. This method is more accurate, and the country uses the body mass index as a measure of overweight and obesity. The normal range is 18.5-23.9, 24-27.9 overweight, and obese over 28. For children, the diagnostic standard of body mass index is different from that of adults, which is slightly lower.
Extended data:
Some people are not overweight, but due to long-term sedentary reasons, abdominal fat accumulation, which is also a dangerous signal of obesity. The normal waist circumference of Chinese men should be controlled within 85 cm, that is, within 2 feet 6, and that of women should be controlled within 80 cm, that is, within 2 feet 4. Only when it's over do you need to lose weight.
There is a "trilogy" of people's weight development to obesity, that is, the process from normal weight to overweight and then to obesity. If you are overweight, remind yourself that you can control your weight by adjusting your lifestyle, such as not staying up late, exercising more, eating less sweets and so on. Only at the stage of obesity, it needs to be solved by some external means.
However, many people who don't need to lose weight are becoming a member of the army of losing weight, and often adopt unscientific methods. Many young women don't understand what a healthy weight is and blindly pursue thinness. In addition to trying various weight-loss products, you often lose weight by dieting, which easily leads to malnutrition and is more harmful to adolescent women. In addition, blind weight loss can also lead to gallstones, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders and other diseases.
