Body mass index

Invite everyone to check the body mass index together. 💪

What is BMI? How is BMI calculated? What kind is it called fat?

Many people have wondered to themselves whether the body that is seen through the mirror is now a suitable body. Is the body weight balanced with height? Is it too fat or too thin? Of course, looking at it with the naked eye, we can't answer clearly whether our body weight is balanced with height. Nong Care will bring everyone to know the tool that can answer this question more clearly. This is the calculation of the BMI, also known as BMI.

What is the BMI or BMI?

The BMI or Body Mass Index is the standard of body balance measurement. It is a measure of body weight divided by height squared. By calculating BMI, this formula can be used for both males and females from 20 years of age onwards. The BMI numbers obtained from the calculations will be a preliminary measure of whether your current weight is balanced or within the right criteria, too fat, too thin, or normal BMI.

The formula calculates BMI = weight (units of kilograms) / height x height (units of meters).

In addition, BMI is an indicator of the risk of your future health problems such as obesity. It is as an overall body assessment that shows how effective our body's metabolic ability is. If the BMI is normal, it shows that our body has a good metabolism. Foods eaten have no effect on obesity until the BMI exceeds the standard. Calculating the BMI may contribute to controlling our weight from the calculated BMI. By dividing the BMI criteria as follows:

BMI less than 18.50

Too little or too thin weight, height does not correlate with body weight, very high but too little body weight, risk of insufficient nutrient intake, insufficient daily energy intake, causing body exhaustion more than usual.

BMI of 18.50 - 22.90

Body weight is normal. Normal BMI is appropriate for Thais, health risk, minimal obesity. Anyone who calculates a BMI between these values should continue to try to maintain a normal BMI, such as this, for good physical health.

BMI 23.00 - 24.90

Your body weight is getting too much. Your body weight doesn't correlate with height. It's a number that indicates that you should have to start controlling your weight to keep your BMI normal.

BMI 25.00 - 29.90

If you calculate the BMI and get a number between 25.00 and 29.90, this means that you are entering a level 1 obesity, although not yet reaching a very obese threshold, there is still a risk of chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, as well. You should hurry to control your weight, adjust your eating habits, so that your weight is related to your height.

BMI 30.00 and above

It indicates danger. You are underweight. At a dangerous obesity level, you are at risk of developing a serious chronic disease that comes with obesity. Of course, one of them is obesity. If you calculate your BMI and stay at this level, you will have to seriously adjust your eating habits with exercise so that your body weight is reduced to be associated with your height, normal BMI, as before. You should plan your health check-up and consult your doctor constantly.

For calculating the BMI of childhood, there is a slight difference with the BMI measure in adults. Despite the use of the formula to calculate the BMI, for calculating the BMI, the child must also use age and gender specific charts. Because of the growth, weight, fat of children of each age are different, so to read the BMI in children must be compared to the charts as follows:

If the resulting BMI number is less than the 5th percentile, the child is underweight.

If the resulting BMI number is between the 5th percentile but less than the 85th percentile, then the child is of appropriate weight.

If the resulting BMI number is between the 85th percentile but less than the 95th percentile, then the child is overweight.

If the BMI number is greater than the 95th percentile and onwards, the child is obese.

Don't get it wrong! BMI is not a quantification of body fat.

When it comes to BMI, many people may be mistaken to think that BMI can also measure body fat, but actually BMI is only a value used to measure body weight balance relative to height. It does not indicate how much body fat is. So if you want to know body fat, you will need another formula to calculate it. Take the BMI from the calculation and calculate the fat percentage as follows:

The formula calculates fat content for female = (1.2 x BMI value) + (0.23 x age in years) - 5.4

The formula calculates fat content for males = (1.2 x BMI value) + (0.23 x age in years) - 16.2

By the appropriate amount of fat in the normal threshold, there should be a numerical average of 15 - 20% for males and 25 - 30% for females.

How does BMI value matter?

As mentioned above, BMI is a good health tool that allows us to determine if our current body weight compared to height is balanced. In more or less, it allows us to plan for eating habits that make our body weight suitable for height. It also helps to assess the potential health risks of abnormal BMI, such as the likelihood of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, malnutrition, and bone diseases like ankle osteoarthritis due to overweight, etc. But the BMI, or BMI, cannot be used to diagnose a disease or tell the body exactly what it is, only to predict the primary health trends.

In fact, the calculation of whether our weight is balanced at the moment. In addition to the calculation of BMI, the formula for measuring waist circumference can be used in the calculation. By dividing height (centimeters) by 2, the result will be the number of waist circumference that should not be exceeded by that value. Or by using the formula for measuring height, leading height minus 110 for women, or taking height minus 100 for men, you will get a number that is the appropriate weight that should not be exceeded, etc.
