Male2
  • Lean male athletes often have a high muscle-to-fat ratio and therefore a BMI that is misleadingly high relative to their body-fat percentage. (wikipedia.org)
  • When the testosterone levels in a male body drop, he faces different sexual problems. (discovermagazine.com)
Increase2
High2
  • When used to predict an individual's health, rather than as a statistical measurement for groups, the BMI has limitations that can make it less useful than some of the alternatives, especially when applied to individuals with abdominal obesity, short stature, or high muscle mass. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is an all-in-one training device paired with daily 20-minute, total body high intensity interval training programs. (power-systems.com)
Weight5
  • Body mass index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of a person. (wikipedia.org)
  • The modern term "body mass index" (BMI) for the ratio of human body weight to squared height was coined in a paper published in the July 1972 edition of the Journal of Chronic Diseases by Ancel Keys and others. (wikipedia.org)
  • B M I = mass kg height m 2 = mass lb height in 2 × 703 {\displaystyle \mathrm {BMI} ={\frac {{\text{mass}}_{\text{kg}}}{{{\text{height}}_{\text{m}}}^{2}}}={\frac {{\text{mass}}_{\text{lb}}}{{{\text{height}}_{\text{in}}}^{2}}}\times 703} BMI provides a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness, allowing health professionals to discuss weight problems more objectively with their patients. (wikipedia.org)
  • A common use of the BMI is to assess how far an individual's body weight departs from what is normal for a person's height. (wikipedia.org)
  • The weight excess or deficiency may, in part, be accounted for by body fat (adipose tissue) although other factors such as muscularity also affect BMI significantly (see discussion below and overweight). (wikipedia.org)
Factors1
  • However, the natural testosterone production rate of your body may deteriorate due to several factors, but there are evident ways to fix them. (discovermagazine.com)
Obesity2
  • When used to predict an individual's health, rather than as a statistical measurement for groups, the BMI has limitations that can make it less useful than some of the alternatives, especially when applied to individuals with abdominal obesity, short stature, or high muscle mass. (wikipedia.org)
  • The interest in an index that measures body fat came with observed increasing obesity in prosperous Western societies. (wikipedia.org)
Assess2
  • A common use of the BMI is to assess how far an individual's body weight departs from what is normal for a person's height. (wikipedia.org)
  • What are other ways to assess excess body fatness besides BMI? (cdc.gov)
Overweight1
  • The weight excess or deficiency may, in part, be accounted for by body fat (adipose tissue) although other factors such as muscularity also affect BMI significantly (see discussion below and overweight). (wikipedia.org)
Measures2
  • BMI does not measure body fat directly, but BMI is moderately correlated with more direct measures of body fat 1,2,3 . (cdc.gov)
  • Furthermore, BMI appears to be as strongly correlated with various metabolic and disease outcome as are these more direct measures of body fatness 4,5,6,7,8,9 . (cdc.gov)
