The term "adiposity" is used here in recognition of the fact that weight for height is only one of an array of physical attributes related to adiposity that have been (and continue to be) used as indices of adiposity in epidemiological studies. Such attributes include body mass index (BMI)...
A child or an adult is wasted (obese), when the incumbent has lesser (excess) weight-for-height. Body-mass index (BMI) is, routinely, used to estimate status of wasting (obesity). To obtain BMI of a person, one should divide mass of an individual (in kilograms) by square of height...
Objectives: Body mass index (BMI), measured as a ratio of weight (Wt) to the square of height (Wt/Ht2), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) are common surrogate measures of adiposity. It is not known whether alternate scaling powers for height might improve the ...
1.the most favorable point, degree, or amount of something for obtaining a given result. 2.the most favorable conditions for the growth of an organism. 3.the best result obtainable under specific conditions. adj. 4.most favorable or desirable; best. ...
better removal effect of HPAM among the non-ion, amphoteric ion and hydrophobical cation polymers, especially the DMDAAC cationic polymer has an optimal result. The removal capacity to HPAM can be further improved by using appropriate molecular weight and cationic capacity and gas floatation ...
Information abounds regarding the negative effect of body fat on cardiovascular health. Weight-to-height-based indirect measures of obesity such asbody mass index(BMI) have been key indicators for recommending weight control regimens, even in growing children and adolescents. Thus, slim body size may...
METHODS: We calculated the average weight gain in the women whose height was 150-164cm with favorable perinatal outcomes of dichorionic twin pregnancy set for this study. The women were categorized to underweight, normal, overweight and obese based on the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) ...

It was shown that when a human being jumps down vertically from a height of 0.3 meters without an active shock absorbing motion, the maximum force on the knee joint could reach up to 11.2 times his weight. Moreover, the optimal motion of the lower limb muscles during a vertical landing ...
This study aims at providing personalized advice for daily water intake considering personal intrinsic (age, sex, height, weight) and extrinsic (food and fluid intakes) characteristics to achieve a target urine osmolality (UOsm) of 500 mOsm/kg using machine learning and optimization algorithms.
