Question: Use The Height And Weight That You Prefer On Those 4 Individuals. Calculate BMI Using The Metric And Non-metric Equation

2. Obtain height and weight on four (4) individuals and use the equations provided in chapter 8 to calculate their BMI. Use both the metric equation and the non-metric equation.

BMI weight status levels linked with health risk include not only werweight and obese, but also underweight, defined as a BMI of S 18.5 kg. m. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and breast cancer of adults are associated with the excessive accumulation of body fat. Due to growth and development, the crite ra used to define BMI weight status in children differ by sex and age. In children ages 2-19 years. overweight is a BMI 2 85th percentile und <95th percentile. Obesity is a BMI 295th percentile for children of the same age and sex Although BMI is often used to assess overweight and obesity its limitation is that it does not differ entiate between fat and fat-free weight.
