Objective methods of estimation of obesity
🔸Body Mass Index (BMI)
🔸Waist-Hip ratio
🔸Waist circumference
Objective methods of estimation of obesity
🔸Body Mass Index (BMI)
🔸Waist-Hip ratio
🔸Waist circumference
Body Mass Index (BMI):
Body weight (kgs)/ height (m2)
Body weight (kgs)/ height (m2)
WAIST-HIP RATIO
:
Waist-to-hip ratio,is the circumference of the waist divided by the circumference of the hips.
≤0.90 – MALES
≤0.85 – FEMALES
This measure of abdominal obesity could be erroneous but some studies have shown it to closely correlate to coronary heart disease
