For example, to convert 10 stones, 8 pounds, you would calculate:

10 × 14 + 8 {\displaystyle 10\times 14+8}

= 140 + 8 {\displaystyle =140+8}

= 148 {\displaystyle =148}

So, 10 bricks, 8 pounds equals 148 pounds.

To do this, you must do the opposite of what you would do to convert pounds into stones. That means you need to multiply the number of bricks by 14. If the weight is in stones and pounds, multiply the number of stones by 14 and add the pounds to the product. Otherwise, just multiply the integer or decimal by 14.

If you are obese or overweight, you are at an increased risk of developing various health problems, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Losing even a small amount of weight can help reduce your increased health risks. The best chance of losing weight and keeping it off is to commit to lifestyle changes. This includes a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

What is obesity?

Obesity is the medical term for being overweight. Being obese or overweight means you carry excess body fat. Being overweight or obese isn’t just about how you look. Over time, this means you are at an increased risk of developing various health problems. As an adult, you can determine if you are overweight or obese and if your health could be at risk by calculating your body mass index (BMI) and measuring your waist size. See the separate leaflet entitled Childhood Obesity.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

People vary in height and build, so mere weighing cannot be used to decide if your weight is healthy. BMI is used by healthcare professionals to assess whether a person’s weight is dangerous to their health. It is a measure of your weight relative to your height.

To calculate your BMI, divide your weight (in kilograms) by the square of your height (in meters). For example, if you weigh 70 kg and are 1.75 meters tall, your BMI is 70/(1.75 x 1.75), which is 22.9.

If you don’t have a scale at home, your office nurse can measure your height, weigh you, and calculate your BMI.

The categories of obesity are:

The ideal (normal) BMI is 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m 2 .

. A BMI of 25-29.9 kg/m 2 is overweight.

is overweight. A BMI of 30-34.9 kg/m 2 is obese (grade I).

is obese (grade I). A BMI of 35-39.9 kg/m 2 is obese (grade II).

is obese (grade II). A BMI of ≥40 kg/m2 is obese (grade III) or morbidly obese.

The more overweight you are, the greater the risk to your health. For those who are overweight (Grade III), weight is a serious and immediate health threat. In general, the higher the BMI, the higher the health risks. In the case of overweight or obesity (grade I), however, the waist circumference is also used to calculate the health risk.

Overall, BMI is a good estimate of how much of your body is fat. However, BMI may be less accurate in very muscular people. That’s because muscle weighs heavier than fat. Someone who is very muscular may have a relatively high BMI due to the weight of their muscle mass, but actually have a proportionately low and healthy amount of body fat. Also, in people originally from Asia, the health risk is higher with lower BMI measurements. Health risks are also calculated differently for older people.

waist size

If you are overweight, measuring your waist measurement can also provide information about your risk of developing health problems (especially cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes). If two overweight or obese people have the same BMI, the person with the larger waist measurement is at greater risk of developing health problems because of their weight. This is because it’s not just whether you’re transporting excess fat that matters, but where you’re transporting it. The risks to your health are greater if you have a lot of excess fat primarily around your waist (“apple-shaped”) rather than primarily on your hips and thighs (“pear-shaped”).

The easiest way to measure your waist is to place the measuring tape around your waist at the level of your navel.

The rule for a man is:

From a waist circumference of 94 cm, the risk to your health is increased.

From a waist circumference of 102 cm the risk is even higher.

The rule for a woman is:

From a waist circumference of 80 cm, the risk to your health is increased.

From a waist circumference of 88 cm, the risk is even higher.

For people who are overweight or obese (grade I), the waist circumference is taken into account together with the BMI when assessing the health risk. If you have a very high waist size, you can be at very high risk to your health, even at the lower obesity levels. If you have other medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or coronary artery disease, your risks are even higher. Weight loss is even more crucial.

Health Risks of Obesity

If you are obese or overweight, from day to day you can:

Feel tired and lack energy.

Having trouble breathing (eg, being short of breath when moving or being unable to cope with sudden physical activity such as running across the street).

Feel that you are sweating a lot compared to other people.

Develop skin irritation, especially if you have skin folds that touch or rub against each other.

have trouble sleeping.

Receive complaints from your partner that you snore.

Experience back and joint pain that can affect your mobility.

You may also be at increased risk of developing the following:

Many people can also develop mental health problems because they are overweight or obese. For example: low self-esteem; dislike the way you look (poor self-image); low confidence; feelings of isolation. These feelings can affect your relationships with family members and friends and, if they become severe, lead to depression.

Obesity can also affect your overall life expectancy: you are more likely to die at a younger age. An evaluation of all relevant studies from 2014 showed that people with a BMI of 35 or more are much more likely to die younger.

Another analysis showed that women with a BMI of 30 or more were likely to die by age 40, 7.1 years earlier than average. If you’re a male with a BMI of 30 or more by age 40, you’re likely to die 5.8 years earlier than average. If you also smoke, your life expectancy will be even shorter.

How many people in the UK are obese?

Obesity and overweight are widespread. According to government reports from 2015 in England:

58 out of 100 women were overweight or obese.

68 out of 100 men were overweight or obese.

This means that most people in England are overweight or obese. Figures in the rest of the UK are similar. The UK now has the highest obesity rate in Western Europe. The number of obese people in the UK has increased rapidly over a 30 year period. This has been dubbed the obesity epidemic. Government and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have developed policies and strategies to reverse this trend. Not only is it a health risk for individuals, it also has a high cost to society as a whole. It is estimated that obesity costs the NHS over £6.1 billion each year. The overall cost to the economy is much higher.

Causes of obesity

In some ways, the cause sounds quite simple. Your weight depends on how much energy you take in (calories in food and drink) and how much energy your body uses (burns):

If the amount of calories you consume equals the amount of energy your body uses, your weight will remain stable.

If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. The excess energy is converted into fat and stored in the body.

If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Your body has to tap into its fat stores to get the extra energy it needs.

However, there is increasing evidence that this explanation, sometimes referred to as the calorie intake/calorie loss model, is outdated. Research shows that there are many complex interactions in the body that work together to keep body weight the same. These interactions involve connections between the nerves and the brain and several hormones, including insulin. The medical term for this is homeostatic feedback. For example:

Eating fewer calories not only makes you hungry, but also reduces your body’s energy expenditure, meaning eating less makes you less active.

When you exercise, a period of increased hunger follows, meaning that doing more causes you to eat more. Exercise also makes you tired, so later you reduce your body’s energy expenditure.

Eating more calories increases the amount of energy your body uses, meaning eating more can make you more active.

In other words, the body adjusts how much energy you use based on how many calories you eat.

What seems important to making us obese is that certain foods can easily override these natural feedback mechanisms to keep us at the same weight. Food rich in sugar and fat tastes good and brings us joy; By triggering the “reward center” in our brain, they are particularly good at overriding these controls.

Food can be divided into three types (although most foods are a mixture):

Carbohydrates:

Mainly found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and milk.

“Refined carbohydrates” are carbohydrates that have been processed in some way, such as table sugar (sucrose), high fructose corn syrup (found in many processed foods), white flour, and pasta.

Fats: found in animal fat, oily fish, butter, cheese and vegetable oils, for example.

Proteins: found in meat, fish, eggs, beans, nuts and meat alternatives.

Refined carbohydrates, fructose, and sugar-sweetened beverages have been linked to low feelings of fullness (satiety), difficulty controlling our appetite, and a lack of excess energy to offset the extra calories ingested.

How much you eat and drink

Most people in the UK live where there is delicious food available almost any time of the day or night. Many of the foods people eat are high-calorie (particularly foods high in fat and sugar), so-called energy-dense foods. Although your body gives you a feeling of fullness (satiation) after eating enough, it’s easy to ignore this feeling when you’re enjoying tasty foods. Food portion sizes have generally increased. There has also been a trend towards more eating out in recent years. When you eat out, you’re more likely to eat foods that are higher in energy than you would at home. In response to our busy lives, the amount of processed foods and ready meals has also increased. These are often foods that are also high in energy. But even healthy foods contain calories and can upset the energy balance if we eat too much of it.

What you drink is also important. Alcohol and sugary drinks are high in calories. Even fresh fruit juices, which you may think are healthy, can contribute to weight gain. This is thought to be due to the rapid release of sugars they shed as the fiber naturally found in fruits is destroyed by juicing.

your physical activity

How does physical activity fit into your current lifestyle? Most people in Britain don’t get enough exercise. Fewer people today have jobs that are high-energy. The proliferation of labor-saving devices and gadgets in most homes and the excessive use of cars mean that most people are using far less energy than previous generations. The average person in the UK watches television 26 hours a week and then some (the ‘couch potato syndrome’).

A lack of physical activity in many people is believed to be one of the main reasons for the increase in obesity in recent years. There is no doubt that exercise is good for us; it lowers our risk of heart disease and stroke, among other things. However, due to the mechanisms explained above, it is discussed that if we do not exercise a lot, it does not always help to lose weight.

genetics

You are more likely to be obese if one of your parents is obese or both parents are obese. This may be partly because you learned bad eating habits from your parents. But some people inherit a tendency in their genes that makes them prone to overeating. So for some people, part of the problem is genetic.

It is not fully understood how this genetic factor works. It has something to do with appetite control. When you eat, certain hormones and brain chemicals send messages to parts of your brain to say you’ve had enough and stop eating. In some people, this control of appetite and satiety may be flawed or not as good as in others.

However, if you inherit a tendency to overeat, it is not inevitable that you will become overweight or obese. You can learn more about the power of your appetite and ways to resist it and be strict about what you eat. But you will probably struggle more than most people when it comes to your weight. You may have a harder time stopping or losing weight.

Scientists have started to identify genes that may be involved in obesity. This can help them find effective treatments in the future.

medical problems

Very few obese people have a “medical” cause for their obesity. For example, conditions like Cushing’s syndrome and an underactive thyroid are rare causes of weight gain until treated. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome can also be overweight. (For more information on these conditions, see the separate booklets Cushing’s Syndrome, Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism), and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.)

Some medicines such as steroids, some antidepressants, some treatments for epilepsy and diabetes, and birth control injections can contribute to weight gain. When you stop smoking your appetite may increase and you may gain weight as a result. People with low mood or depression may also tend to eat more high-energy comfort foods and thus gain weight.

What are the benefits of losing weight?

It’s difficult to measure how much quality of life improves when you lose some weight. Many people feel better and have more energy. Some people notice an improvement in their self-esteem. But there are also definite health benefits of losing some weight. As discussed above, many diseases are more common in obese and overweight people, and you are less likely to develop them if you lose some weight.

If your BMI is between 25 and 35, many of the health benefits come with losing the first 5-10% of your weight. (For example, if you weigh 90 kg and lose 9 kg, that would be 10% of your original weight.) If your BMI is between 25 and 35, on average if you reduce your weight by 10%:

You are much less likely to develop the health problems listed above, such as diabetes.

If you already have problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, or diabetes, these are likely to improve. If you are taking medication for these problems, you may be able to take a reduced dose.

Your chance of dying at a certain age is reduced. This is mainly because you are less likely to die from obesity-related heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer.

If your BMI is over 35, you are more likely to already have health problems related to being overweight. You will likely need to lose between 15 and 20% of your original weight to see any lasting improvement in these health issues and other health benefits.

How do I know if my weight is already affecting my health?

If you are concerned that you may be overweight or obese, you should discuss this with your nurse or doctor. You may be able to determine if your weight is already affecting your health.

For example, they may first check if you have coronary artery disease symptoms such as chest pain, especially with exertion. They may also ask about symptoms of osteoarthritis, such as back or joint pain, or symptoms of sleep apnea. This occurs when your breathing patterns are disrupted while you sleep due to excess weight around your chest, throat, and airways. They may suggest some tests to look for underlying health issues that your weight may be causing. For example, you can suggest:

A blood test for type 2 diabetes.

A blood test to see your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

A blood pressure check.

Other blood tests are sometimes recommended to check for other problems, such as an underactive thyroid or liver problems.

As mentioned above, it can also often happen that overweight or obesity leads to psychological problems. Therefore, your doctor or nurse may also ask you questions to look for signs of it.

Note: Your doctor or nurse can also help you if you want to lose weight (see below).

How can I lose weight?

Some people lose weight by following a strict diet for a short period of time. However, once their diet is over, they often return to their old eating habits and their weight immediately regains weight. Losing weight and then keeping it off takes a lifetime of lifestyle changes. This includes things like:

The kind of food and drink you usually buy.

The type of meals you eat.

your eating habits.

The amount of physical activity you do.

See the separate Weight Loss (Weight Reduction) booklet for more information. Below is a brief summary of the principles of losing weight.

before you start

Motivation is key: No weight loss plan will work unless you have a genuine desire to lose weight. You must be ready and motivated.

: No weight loss plan will work unless you have a serious desire to lose weight. You must be ready and motivated. Monitor your current food intake: It is helpful to know exactly how much you are currently eating. It’s more helpful to keep a detailed journal of everything you eat and drink over an average week.

: It is helpful to know exactly how much you are currently eating. It’s more helpful to keep a detailed journal of everything you eat and drink over an average week. Aim to lose weight gradually: it is best not to lose weight too quickly. Aim to lose an average of 0.5 to 1 kg per week (about 1-2 pounds per week).

: It is best not to lose weight too quickly. Aim to lose an average of 0.5 to 1 kg per week (about 1-2 pounds per week). Set clear goals with a realistic time frame: It is important to set a clear and realistic weight loss goal. As mentioned above, in most cases, health benefits can be achieved by losing the first 5-10% of your weight.

Try to eat a healthy and balanced diet

Frequently advertised special diets are usually not helpful. Because after losing weight, if the old eating habits persist, the weight often goes right back. As a rule, no special diet is required, but a permanent changeover to a healthy, balanced diet.

You can find much more information on this in the separate leaflet on healthy eating. Also read about the Mediterranean diet, which is increasingly recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Watch what you drink

Many people drink sweet beverages to quench their thirst when all they really need is water. Sugary drinks like cola, tea and coffee with milk and sugar, milk and alcoholic beverages all contain calories. One of the easiest ways to cut calories is to simply drink water as your main beverage.

Increase your physical activity

Ideally, all adults should aim for two and a half hours of exercise per week. One way to do this is to exercise for half an hour of moderate-intensity exercise in 10-minute bouts, five days a week. Moderate physical activity includes: brisk walking, jogging, dancing, swimming, badminton, tennis, etc.

Also, try to do more in your daily routines. For example, use stairs instead of elevators, park further away from the entrance to the supermarket, walk or cycle to work or school, etc. See separate leaflet entitled Exercise and physical activity. It contains many tips on how you can easily increase your physical activity.

Monitor your behavior and progress

Keeping a food journal can be helpful, and it’s also important to weigh yourself once a week. Don’t be disappointed if you gain a little weight or your weight loss falters for a few days. Look at the overall pattern over several months.

Get help and support

Some people feel motivated enough and can lose weight without help. However, others need the support of a professional or weight loss group.

You can find a lot more information and helpful tips in the separate information sheet on losing weight.

Treatment with medication to support weight loss

Weight loss medication may be an option for some people who want to lose weight. However, there are no magic bullets. Lifestyle changes to improve diet and increase physical activity remain important.

There are two medicines available in the UK to help with weight loss: orlistat and liraglutide (Saxenda®).

orlistat

Orlistat is available in the UK on prescription from your doctor and low dose orlistat is also available over the counter from pharmacies. It prevents some of the fat you eat from being absorbed into your body. As the fat is passed through the intestines with your stool (feces), this can cause some nasty side effects. You can get the same weight loss effect by not eating the fat in the first place, so it’s not a magic bullet. Doctors and pharmacists are given specific guidelines as to when orlistat should be used. The separate leaflet called Orlistat (weight loss drug) has more details.

liraglutide

Liraglutide is a newer drug that can be prescribed to help with weight loss. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonist. It was launched in the UK in January 2017 and NICE has issued the following advice: It is to be used in addition to a calorie-restricted diet and increased physical activity for weight management in adult patients with a baseline BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more, or from 27 kg/m2 to less than 30 kg/m2 if other weight-related problems such as prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia or obstructive sleep apnea are present. Treatment should be stopped after 12 weeks if patients have not lost at least 5% of their initial body weight.

Other

The following medicines have been shown to help with weight loss in the short term. They either affect your metabolism to increase your body’s energy expenditure, or your brain to make you feel full or reduce your emotional desire for food.

Naltrexone Bupropion

phentermine topiramate

lorcaserin

However, their safety, particularly for long-term use as would be required for weight loss, has not been established and they are not approved for weight loss in the UK.

Surgery to help lose weight

This can be an option if you are overweight and your health is at risk. It can be especially considered if you have type 2 diabetes. This is because it will have even more health benefits as the surgery can also cure your diabetes. However, surgery is usually only offered if you’ve tried other weight-loss methods that haven’t worked (including diet, increasing your physical activity, and orlistat). Surgery usually has very good results, and most people lose a lot of weight. However, this is specialized surgery and a major undertaking. Surgeons work on specialized weight management teams. The team helps with all aspects of weight loss and all ways to help you. Weight loss surgery is called bariatric surgery. For more information, including the risks to consider, see the separate leaflet entitled Weight Loss Surgery.

hold the weight

Many people lose weight, but at the end of their diet the weight comes back. The only way to keep the weight off is to make lifestyle changes that caused you to gain weight in the first place. See the separate leaflet entitled Weight Loss (Weight Reduction).

If you’ve lost a lot of weight but have a lot of excess skin and fat in the lower part of your abdomen (belly), you should consider a cosmetic procedure called a “tummy tuck” (abdominoplasty).

Can obesity and overweight be prevented?

Yes. You can help avoid obesity or being overweight by:

Women who weigh 20 pounds or less and are slimmer than a size 14 are most “desirable,” according to a new survey.

94% said weighing more than a tenth was undesirable and unattractive

Being over 10 is a diet trigger for women

For 75% of men, a waist measurement of 36 inches or more was the trigger of their diet

Holly Willoughby, Davina McCall and Duchess of Cambridge chose ‘desirable’ celebrity bodies

The ideals of female beauty and desirability for men and women across Britain are not far removed from the images portrayed in glossy magazines and pin-up calendars of celebrities, if the latest research is to be believed.

A new study has looked at what makes a member of the opposite sex “desirable,” and while women weigh on average about 11.2 pounds and wear a size 16, 94 percent of all respondents – both men and women – said a weight of 10 Stones or more and wearing over a size 14 was “undesirable” and “unattractive”.

And it seems that women are taking note; The study also found that 10 Stone is the turning point for most to try different diet and exercise programs.

Most Desirable: The nation voted and Davina McCall and the Duchess of Cambridge were voted most desirable celebrity bodies

The poll revealed that the celebrities with the most desirable bodies were Davina McCall, the Duchess of Cambridge and Holly Willoughby.

When it came to their own physique, the majority of men (75 percent) said a waist measurement of 36 inches or more was the sign it was time to go on a diet.

Since the average male measures a waist of 35.8 inches, the study suggests that respondents believe that being on the larger side is more acceptable for men than for women.

The survey revealed that the five most desirable characteristics of our men are firm arms, broad shoulders, masculine facial features, a perky bottom and no receding hairline.

Buff Bods: Hugh Jackman (L) and David Beckham voted most desirable male bodies

The least desirable traits were, surprisingly, a six-pack along with skinny legs and a small frame.

The nation voted Hugh Jackman, David Beckham and Gerard Butler as the most desirable male bodies.

The survey also found that while many respondents (46 percent) will diet as part of their New Year’s resolutions, the majority of people will not participate in “Dry January” and will abstain from alcohol.

Weighing: The study also found that weighing over 10 stone is considered undesirable and is the tipping point for most women to try different diet and exercise programs

Chocolate was another item that nearly a quarter of respondents admitted they could not live without.

A spokesman for Diet Chef, which commissioned the survey, said: This survey has produced quite interesting results; It’s disturbing to see that the ideal body weight and height for women is so small, especially given our average dress size (size 16), and that being on the larger side is more acceptable for men than for women.

“Rather than focusing on an ideal height, people, and women in particular, need to think about ‘what’s healthy for me and how to achieve a healthy BMI and weight’.” Not “how do I look like an airbrushed model”. The pictures of girls in magazines are not realistic; Each has been airbrushed to look like perfection. ‘

Speaking of the survey results, body image and wellbeing expert Katie Lowe of fatgirlphd.com said: “I’m not the least bit surprised by the results – they show once again that our ideas about women’s health seem firmly on the scales to stand, rather than more accurate measurements of physical well-being.

“It’s interesting that men measure themselves in centimeters while women use the scale – because measurements are a much more accurate measure of progress and health on a given weight loss program and tend to vary considerably less.

“The reason we place so much importance on the scales is because we rely too much on BMI as a measure of health – when in reality it should only represent one dimension of assessing a person’s physical well-being.

Measuring: For the majority of men (75 percent), a 36-inch waist or larger was the trigger for their diet, suggesting that being on the larger side is far more acceptable for men than it is for women

“It’s entirely possible to be unhealthy at 10 stone, just as it is to be at peak condition significantly heavier – it all depends on muscle-fat-bone ratio and cardiovascular health and so on.

“From a body image perspective, the number on the scale need only be a measure of our health, and certainly not our self-esteem – and our ideas of what constitutes a healthy weight need to be more realistic, especially given the average height of women in the UK .

Many people want to know the answer to this question: how much should I weigh? However, there is no single ideal weight for everyone. Sex and gender exist on spectra. In this article, the terms male, female, or both are used to refer to the sex assigned at birth. Click here to find out more. Everyone is different and there are a number of factors that go into determining your ideal weight. These factors can be biological, such as age, height, and birth sex, but mental factors can be just as important. An individual can define their ideal weight as that which they are most comfortable with. However, maintaining a moderate weight can reduce a person’s risk of developing a number of health conditions, including: Obesity

Type 2 diabetes

high blood pressure

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) However, not everyone who is overweight will develop health problems. However, the researchers believe that while this extra weight is not currently affecting health, difficulties with weight management could lead to problems in the future. Read on to discover the different ways to find a person’s ideal weight.

Body Mass Index (BMI) Share on Pinterest Attila Csomor/EyeEm/Getty Images BMI is a common tool that measures a person’s weight in relation to their height. A BMI calculation provides a single number that falls into the following categories: A BMI of less than 18.5 means a person is underweight.

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is ideal.

A BMI between 25 and 29.9 indicates overweight.

A BMI over 30 indicates obesity. Body Mass Index Calculator To calculate BMI, a person can use BMI calculator or refer to the charts below.

While height is taken into account, factors such as waist or hip measurements are not taken into account

the proportion or distribution of fat

the proportion of muscle mass These factors can affect health. Competitive athletes, for example, are very fit and have little body fat. They may have a high BMI because they have more muscle mass, but that doesn’t mean they weigh too much for their height. Another limitation of BMI is that it does not differentiate between people of different ethnicities. Studies have shown that for the same BMI, non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans can have significantly different body fat levels. This inaccuracy can lead to misdiagnosis or misjudgment of risk factors between individuals. BMI can give a rough idea of ​​whether a person is of moderate weight or not, and is useful for measuring trends in population studies. However, it shouldn’t be the only measure a person uses to judge if their weight is ideal. Learn more about the limitations of BMI.

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) A person’s WHR compares their waist measurement to that of their hips. A high WHR indicates when a person has a higher percentage of visceral fat, the fat in the abdominal cavity that surrounds several important organs. Research has shown that people with a high WHR are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The larger the waist in relation to the hips, the greater this risk. For this reason, the WHR is a useful tool for calculating whether a person is of moderate weight and height. Measuring WHR To calculate their WHR, a person should measure around their waist at the narrowest point, usually just above their belly button. You can then divide this measurement by the width of your hips at the widest point. For example, if a person’s waist is 28 inches and their hips are 36 inches, they divide 28 by 36, giving a WHR of 0.77. What does that mean? According to an older World Health Organization (WHO) report from 2008, the optimal WHR differs between sex at birth and ethnicity. A high WHR may put people at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other weight-related conditions, such as: B. Type 2 diabetes. The following are average scores for WHRs and their associations with health risks. Health risk Male Female Low risk Less than 0.9 Less than 0.8 Intermediate risk 0.9-0.99 0.8-0.89 High risk More than 1.0 More than 0.9 Studies have found an association between high WHR and elevated risk of myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. However, as with BMI, the WHR has limitations. This measure doesn’t accurately measure a person’s total body fat percentage or their muscle-to-fat ratio, for example.

Waist-to-height ratio The waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) is another tool that may be a better predictor of heart disease risk, diabetes risk, and all-cause mortality than BMI. Measuring WtHR To calculate WtHR, a person should divide their waist circumference by their height. If the result is 0.5 or less, they are probably of moderate weight. A 2014 study concluded that a WtHR of 0.52 or greater significantly increases a person’s risk of developing cardiac complications. Measurements that take waist size into account can be useful indicators of a person’s health risks. This is because the fat that accumulates around the middle of the torso can be harmful to the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Body Fat Percentage Body fat percentage is the weight of a person’s body fat divided by their total weight. This measurement includes both a person’s essential and stored fat. A human being needs essential fat to survive – it is crucial for the development of the brain, bone marrow, nerves and membranes. Storage fat is the fatty tissue that protects the internal organs in the chest and abdomen and can be used by the body for energy when needed. Learn more about measuring body fat. Recommendations Aside from the approximate guidelines for men and women, the ideal total fat percentage can depend on a person’s body type or activity level. Activity Level Male Body Type Female Body Type Athletes 6-13% 14-20% Fit Non-Athletes 14-17% 21-24% Acceptable 18-24% 25-31% Obesity 25% or more 32% or more Learn more about body fat percentage by age and Gender. A high body fat percentage may indicate an increased risk of: Diabetes

heart disease

high blood pressure

Stroke Body fat percentage calculation can be a suitable way to measure a person’s fitness level because, unlike DMI, WHR and WtHR, it reflects their body composition. How to Measure Body Fat Percentage The most common method of measuring body fat percentage is by skinfold measurement, which uses special calipers to pinch the skin. A healthcare professional measures the tissue on the thigh, abdomen, and chest in men, or the upper arm in women. Other measures are hydrostatic body fat measurement or “underwater weighing”.

Air density measurement that measures air displacement

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis While neither of these can provide accurate readings, the estimates are close enough to offer a reasonable assessment. Learn more about the different methods of measuring body fat.
