Body mass index

Body mass index - a highly sensitive indicator of compliance with food energy needs of the organism. In the absence of such compliance as a result of excessive or insufficient food intake comes obesity or emaciation, that in both cases is a serious health disorder. The same effect can occur at low or high physical activity without corresponding changes in the energy potential of the diet. In such situations, the previously normal diet or becoming overweight, or underweight with all the ensuing consequences. In this regard every human being, he is predisposed to obesity or not, should systematically control their weight, know its optimum performance. Must be weighed in the morning, after using the toilet, an empty stomach, with no clothes or in the same light clothing. For this purpose, suitable scales. Weighing results are compared with the ideal or recommended maximum permissible norm. Ideal norm is a person's weight in 25-30 years. In those years, ending physical development, and if by that time there was any wrongdoing in the diet, or serious illness, the mass of the human body is the most appropriate standard for comparison in future. Most avtoritetnyeuchenye in food hygiene believe that a healthy lifestyle massamozhet (or rather, should) continue to age 60 without any changes. The recommended body weight for men and women aged 25-30 years is shown in table number 1. There are some simple ways to samoorientatsii. The greatest recognition and dissemination has refined the formula Brock, which is calculated according to a normal body weight when normosthenic chest: M = growth - 100 with an increase up to 165 cm M = growth-105 with an increase in 166-175 cm M = growth-110 with an increase of more than 175 cm with a narrow chest (asthenic body type) is considered the norm reduction thus obtained values ??up to 10%, with wide (hypersthenics) - corresponding to its increase (but not more than 10%). Use of this recommendation allows for some deviations from the values ??of ideal body weight. For example, at height 175 cm for normostenikov it will be 175-105 = 70 kg, for asthenics - 63 kg (- 10%), and for hypersthenics 77 kg (+10%). The same values ??as defined in Table 1, up to normostenikov 71.7 kg (the difference at 1.7 kg), asthenics 65.3 (difference at 2.3 kg), hypersthenics 77.8 kg (the difference in 0.8 kg). The recommended body weight for men and women aged 25-30 years,
