Body Mass Index

Body Mass Index (BMI) Introduction Historically, the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) has been the standard method of measuring obesity among the adults. The standards of BMI were created using population samples, which were calculated from the measurement of the weight and height of Caucasians. Recent research has proved that BMI alone cannot be an appropriate way of measuring obesity. The main reason for this is the differences in ethnicity and the genetic make-up of individuals. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has evaluated the trend of the BMI and the result is that the African ...

Public schools offer ideal settings for the dissemination of interventions designed to promote physical activity and life-long healthy eating. As such, schools are the only settings where the majority of children can access the opportunity of consuming healthful meals regularly, being physically active through extracurricular activities, and receiving education on healthy living. Nonetheless, many interventions have been ineffective because they often fail to incorporate environmental factors and system-wide policies that influence the ability of schools, families, and children to alter behavior (Coleman et al., 2012). Although recent investigations have made attempts to address the shortcoming, they have yielded mixed ...

Zinczenko in his article argues about two girls who had sued McDonald's for growing fat after consistently eating from the food outlet. His (Zinczenko) thesis is that the world should not blame the girls for eating from the fast food restaurant and growing fat but rather their parents' who give them money and the changed world where they cannot access fresh fruits such as grapefruits. In his work, Zinczenko argues that the girls often went home to find their working parents away and the only option they are left with is going to a fast food outlet. He writes ...

The poster provides detailed information of the two kinds of stroke i.e. Ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs as a result of blood vessels weakening and eventually bursting while ischemia occurs when a blood vessel gets clogged. The Ischemic stroke will occur when the blood vessel becomes quite narrow as a result of fat deposition. The narrowing of the vessel makes it difficult for blood to flow freely to the brains. Normally, Ischemic attacks are temporary and minor. However, in extreme cases, they cause major strokes that may leave the client hospitalized or even dead (Alway& Cole, 2009). There ...

Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of fat, such that it poses potential health risks to the affected individual (Ogden, Carroll, Fryar & Flegal, 2015). The most commonly used approach for classifying the relation between a person’s weight and his/her health is the body mass index, BMI. The BMI calculates the weight of a person based on that person’s height. Age and gender are factors that are considered when calculating the BMI. Waist circumference is also combined with the BMI approach in diagnosing obesity. Obesity predisposes the patients to other health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, ...

Acesulfame potassium was first discovered in Germany by Karl Clauss and H. Jensen in the year 1967. This was when the two researchers mixed butane with Fluor sulfonyl isocyanate and licked the solution when some of it spilled. The sweet taste was what gave Clauss the idea of using ...

Diabetes mellitus is the group of serious diseases that lead to fatal cases without the proper treatment. One of the suggested by the World Health Organization, the International Expert Committee, and the American Diabetes Association ways of diagnostics of diabetes is the measure of the glycated hemoglobin level (HbA1c); HbA1c more than 6,5% (48 mmol/mol) diagnoses diabetes, and HbA1c between 5,7% and 6,4% diagnoses prediabetes (Incani et al., 2015, p. 44). However, this method needs to be improved and additional factors need to be studied, as the level of HbA1c shows poor agreement with fasting plasma ...

What are the externalities associated with obesity (both positive and negative)? In other words, in what ways do the effects of obesity spillover to those who may not be considered obese? Essesntially, externalities that are associated with obesity revolve around the positive and the negative issues concerning the social costs (Cawley & Meyerhoefer, 2012).On this note, Cawley & Meyerhoefer, (2012), opines that the social costs associated with obesity may outweigh the benefits. In line with this, the negative externalities encompass the health issues of the people residing around the patient that often leads to psychological problems. As demonstrated in ...

Hypertension in children is becoming a growing healthcare concern in America. It is quite common to see reports of hypertension in children. Most cases of hypertension in children remains undiagnosed and therefore the present prevalence is an underestimation of the real scenario. Unlike adults, the normal blood pressure values in children can vary based on their age and height, and thus borderline cases of hypertension, escape diagnosis. Sedentary lifestyle and obesity are important risk factors for hypertension in children. Through proper lifestyle practices and diet, hypertension can be prevented in children. Preventing hypertension in children is important as hypertension ...
