Umhlahlandlela wokubala i-BMI yengane yakho

Inkomba yomzimba wengane yakho (BMI) iyithuluzi elibalulekile elisetshenziselwa ukucacisa ukuthi ingane yakho ingaphezu komzimba, isisindo somzimba noma isisindo esinempilo. I-American Academy of Pediatrics namuhla iphakamisa ukulandelela okujwayelekile kwe-BMI kubo bonke abantwana uma bephakathi kweminyaka emibili.

I-BMI ibalwa ngokuphakama kwengane nesisindo ngokusebenzisa ifomula elula. Akulinganisani amafutha omzimba kodwa kunalokho ubuningi besisindo somzimba (isisindo, amafutha, nesithambo) enganeni. Leli gugu lisetshenziselwa ukuhlukanisa ingane njengento engaphansi kwesisindo esiphansi, isisindo esivamile, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile noma okugqamile.

Kulula ukuhumusha imiphumela kubantu abadala njengama-BMI phakathi kuka-25 kuya ku-30 ​​kubhekwa ukukhululeka ngokweqile kanti i-BMI engama-30 noma ngaphezulu ibhekwa njengokukhululeka.

Kuyinto eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu nezingane ngoba kufanele futhi ucabangele ubudala bomntwana kanye nobulili ukucacisa ibanga le-percentile angawela ngaphakathi. I-BMI percentile isetshenziselwa ukuhlukanisa isisindo somntwana esekelwe kwimingcele ebonwe ngaphakathi kwalelo qembu.

Ukuthola Izibalo Ezifanele

Ukuthola ukulinganisa kwe- BMI kwesidingo kudinga ukuthi uthole ukuphakama okunembile nesilinganiso sesisindo. Ukwenza kanjalo:

• Susa izicathulo zomntwana, izingubo zangaphandle, nezembatho zezinwele.
• Ukuze uthole ukuphakama okunembile, umntanakho ume ngezinyawo zakhe phansi engenawo umthamo ngekhanda, emahlombe, emuva, emabhokisini, kanye nezithende ezibekwe phezu kwendlu edonga.
• Ukuze uthole isisindo esinembile, sebenzisa isibalo sedijithali esiswe ezingeni, elingenalutho futhi ubeke ingane izinyawo zombili phakathi kwezinga ngaphandle kokuhamba. Gwema izinga lokugezela elisempumalanga.

Ukubala i-BMI ku-Children

Ifomula ejwayelekile yokubala i-BMI yengane isisindo / (ukuphakama x ukuphakama) x 703 . Ukubala lokhu, kuzodingeka ukuthi:

1. Linganisa isisindo somntwana (ngamakhilogremu).
2. Linganisa ukuphakama kwengane (ngamasentimitha).
3. Bala i-BMI ngokuhlukanisa isisindo ngokuphakama kwesigcawu futhi ukwandise leso samba ngokuguqula isimo esingu-703

I- formula ye-metric yokubala i-BMI yengane isisindo / (ukuphakama x ukuphakama) . Ukubala lokhu, kuzodingeka ukuthi:

1. Linganisa isisindo somntwana (ngo-kilogram).
2. Linganisa ukuphakama kwengane (ngamamitha).
3. Bala i-BMI ngokuhlukanisa isisindo ngesikwele esiphezulu.

I-BMI Percentiles yezingane

I-BMI percentile ivumela ukuthi sihlukanise ingane nge-BMI esekelwe kwabanye abafana noma intombazane eneminyaka yakhe yobudala. Ukuze unqume i-percentile efanele, kuzodingeka ukuthi:

1. Thola iminyaka nobulili kufanelekile kumntanakho ngeshadi le-BMI.
2. Bamba i-BMI yengane yakho eshadini.

Isisindo sezigaba zezingane

Uma usungule i-BMI yengane yakho kanye ne-percentile, uzobe ubona ukuthi yikuphi lapho ewela khona ebangeni elilindelekile. Izigaba zesisindo zichazwe kanje:

• I-underweight ihlelwe ngokuthi ibe ne-BMI ngaphansi kwe-5th percentile.
• Isisindo esivamile sihlelwe ngokuthi sibe ne-BMI kusukela kumaphesenti angu-5 kuya ngaphansi kwe-85th percentile
• Ukuqhathaniswa ngokweqile kuhlukaniswe njenge-BMI ngaphezu kwe-85th percentile kuya ngaphansi kwe-95c percentile
• I-Obese ihlelwe ngokuthi ine-BMI enkulu kunaleyo noma ilingana ne-95th percentile.
