In this article, Flash Card Baby talk to you about BMI. BMI is body mass index were the doctors and experts in early education, health professionals use to determine the status concussion symptoms of a body someone obese, overweight or too skinny or not. Normally, it is used to calculate the degree of obesity. BMI formula:
In children, the BMI is similar to adults. concussion symptoms But instead of the threshold for underweight concussion symptoms or overweight BMI groups for the comparison of children of the same age and the same gender together. For people aged 20 years and older, a BMI below the 5th is considered concussion symptoms underweight and above 95 is considered obese th. For people under 20 years of age, BMI from 85 th to 95 th is considered overweight.
Obesity in the population is rapidly becoming a health problem in the developed countries. In January 2003, while the U.S. is preparing to step into the Second Iraq War, U.S. Health CEO, Richard Carmona, U.S. warn the public that the U.S. is at a dangerous stage, more dangerous the threat of weapons of mass destruction by Saddam Hussein concussion symptoms that the United States insists on accusations! Instead of focusing on the dangers of nuclear weapons, biological weapons, he Carmona advise people to look for clear threat concussion symptoms very real and not far away but in the America. The threat is obesity.
Intimidation is because obesity (it is said to be "sick") related to certain diseases such as heart disease, some cancers, diabetes, hypertension, etc ... (also to open a brackets to add that the relationship is still in dispute.) In the United concussion symptoms States have statistics that each year about 300,000 people die from obesity. Although numbers are not entirely accurate (even problems), but in general everyone agrees concussion symptoms obesity is a major threat to the population at the national scale.
Obesity is a major health problem in developing countries such as Vietnam. The experience of developed countries shows that once the economic life and improve the rate of urbanization increased, the rate of obesity also increases. So the analogy is called obesity a "disease-rich countries." In our country today, more and less people die from infectious diseases, but more and more people die from the disease more or less related to abdominal waist as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis joints, etc. ...
One of the problems in our country as well as in other developing countries are diagnosed with obesity problems. Must be based on the standard public, concussion symptoms or any criteria for diagnosis? Body mass index is not a gold standard - "golden standard" - or not? It is possible to apply the diagnostic criteria are used in European countries for the Vietnamese concussion symptoms American or not we?
Obesity (Obesity is known in English) concussion symptoms is a condition of too much body fat can cause harm to health. Because fat is a main characteristic of obesity to the gold standard to determine who is obese and who are not overweight should concussion symptoms be based on measurable indicators of body fat.
There are many methods of measurement (or rather, concussion symptoms estimated) amount of fat, but the standard method is to use X-ray machine called dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). According to this method, and as its name suggests, the machine uses two X-ray projection into the body and is based on two signals that emit X-rays, along with some assumptions about the distribution of chemicals, it is possible determine how many kilo fat, how much lean, how many bones, etc. ... in the body.
Fat divided by body weight and multiplied by 100 to give a percentage of fat (TLCB) in the body. On average TLCB body change according to age and gender. Women have higher TLCB man. More and more elderly people TLCB increasing. But for the whole population in the European American TLCB can vary from 15% to 60%, and the average value from 20% to 30%. TLCB too high or too low are considered unhealthy, even dangerous. concussion symptoms For example, those who have TLCB below 10% is considered concussion symptoms "below average" or "unhealthy".
Based on the relationship between the probability TLCB and mortality as well as a number of other disease risk in Western populations, the researchers set out two criteria for the diagnosis concussion symptoms of obesity. Under this standard, any man would be 25% or higher TLCB any TLCB women have 35% higher than is considered "obese". We can say this is the gold standard (golden criteria) for the diagnosis of obesity because the medical world generally agree, no one argues concussion symptoms about the value and the rationale behind it.
But the difficulty here is usually very expensive DXA machine, concussion symptoms not the doctor's office or medical facility also. Even in wealthy countries such as the U.S. only large hospitals and major medical centers have new machines. In addition, it also requires the user to go through a training course in technology and measurement techniques, not everyone can do (and in fact there have been many cases die
