Weight Maintenance - UK Edition - Vincent Antonetti PhD
Plan
Table 1 Body Mass Index (BMI)
The rationale behind the BMI is based on epidemiological data that show an increase in mortality when the BMI is above 25, although the increase in mortality tends to be moderate until a BMI of 30 is reached. Table 2 shows how a person’s body-weight is categorized as a function of their BMI.
BMI-Based Weight vs. Height
Another more convenient way to use BMI is the New BMI-Based Weight vs. Height Chart shown in Table 3, where the normal weight category corresponds to BMI = 18.6 to 24.9, overweight is for BMI = 25.0 to 29.9 and obese is for BMI = 30.0 to 39.9. Not shown in Table 3 is the underweight category (BMI lower than 18.6) and the extremely obese (BMI greater than 39.9).
Example: Determine BMI of a man who is 1.80 m tall and weighs 14 stone (89.1 kg). First use Table 1. Scan the far left of the table and locate his weight of 14 stone. From this number run your finger horizontally (to the right) until it intersects the vertical column headed by his 1.85 meter height. The number at the intersection is his BMI = 27.5. According to Table 2 he is overweight.
Example: Determine the normal (healthy) weight range
for a man 1.80 m tall. From Table 3, find that he must weigh between 9 st 6 lb and 12 stone for his weight to be in the normal
range, that is for his BMI to be between 18.6 and 24.9. (I think you will agree that the normal (healthy) weight range provided by Table 3 is more useful than the BMI given in Table 1.)
Waist-to-Hip Ratio: Another important weight-profile parameter is your waist-to-hip ratio. Health risks for heart attack and stroke increase considerably for:
- Men with a waist to hip ratio more than 1.0.
- Women with a waist to hip ratio more than 0.8.
To calculate your ratio, measure your waist size (at its narrowest circumference) and divide it by your hip size (at the widest section). For example, a man with a 110-cm waist and 90-cm hips would have a waist to hip ratio of 110/90 = 1.2, and would have an increased risk for health problems.
Table 4: VO2max versus Fitness Level
Calculating VO2max: The following is undoubtedly the most difficult portion of this book, because VO2max is a function of so many variables: gender, weight, age, heart rate and time to complete the one-mile test walk. Although the formulae are relatively complex, we have tried to simplify the calculation as much as possible.
For women: VO2max = 133 – W – H – A – T
For men: VO2max = 139 – W – H – A – T, where
W = 0.17 × Weight (kg)
A = 0.39 × Age
H = 0.157 × Heart rate
T = 3.26 × Time for 1609 meters
Example: Determine VO2max and the fitness level of a 29 year-old man who weighs 11 stone (70 kg). He finished the 1609 meter walking test in 14 minutes and 30 seconds (which is 14.5 minutes) with a heart rate of 145 beats per minute. The first step is to determine values for W, H, A and T.
W = 0.17 × Weight = 0.17 × 70 kg = 11.9
H = 0.157 × Heart rate = 0.157 × 145 = 22.8
A = 0.39 × Age = 0.39 × 29 years = 11.3
T = 3.26 × Time = 3.26 × 14.5 minutes = 50.5
Then calculate VO2max = 139 – W – H – A – T
VO2max = 139 – 11.9 – 22.8 – 11.3 – 50.5 = 43.1
Finally, enter Table1 and find
