Question

The body mass index (BMI) determines ideal weight based on body frame measurements and age. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

BMI is not a direct measure of fatness and is calculated based on the height and weight of the person, which includes both muscle and fat. Some people may have a high BMI but not have a high percentage of body fat.

BMI helps us understand the risks of suffering a cardiovascular accident. Thus, the calculation of the ideal weight seems much more accurate than the calculation of BMI.

A 30-year-old man who measures 1.85 and weighs 60 kilos may consider his weight to be ideal. However, his BMI will indicate that he has a thinness situation and that he should adjust his daily calorie intake.

On the contrary, an overweight person, who is 1.70 tall and weighs 75 kg, can feel good about his body and not notice any mobility problem.

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is basically a number which is got by dividing the weight of a person with his height, which tells about the relation of your weight with regards to your height. There are different ranges upon which the Body Mass Index of a person may fall. Ranges tell us that either you are in a healthy body range, you are under weight, you are over weight, you are obese or you are severely obese.
