Your Health & Mathematics

Surely, all of us here knows our height and weight. However, do you guys know about these other indicators of health?

1. Body Mass Index(BMI)

a) It is a measure of body fat and is calculated by:

dividing your weight(kg) by your height(m²).

18.5-24.9= Healthy

25-29.9=Overweight

30 and above=Obese

2. Waist circumference

a) It is an indicator of abdominal fat, which predicts risk of having a heart disease.

Wrap a tape measure round your waist to measure your waist.

For Women,

Over 87.5 centimetres increases your risk.

For Men,

100 or over 100 centimetres increases your risk.

3. Waist-to-hip ratio(Waist size divided by hip size)

a) This figure shows where you mostly carry your weight.

For Women,

.80 or less is safe.

For Men,

.90 or less is safe.
