Details about question 1.ABC
a)Height=164cm 5.38 ft
Wrist Circumference (cm)=15

Convert height (cm) into feet & inch
164cm = 164/64.5inch
=64.5 inch = 60 inch + 4.5 inch = 5 feet, 4.5 inch
Frame size
r = 164/15 = 10.9 (medium)
IBW for a medium frame size
= 100lb (first 5 feet)
= 100Ib + [5x 5lb] =125lb

Medium frame size (X1)
= 125lb x 1=125lb

%IBW
= 105.8/ 125lb x 100% = 84.64% (Mild malnutrition weight)

(The details of calculation can reference to notes)

b)164cm 48kg
BMI=17.846

c) WHR = Waist (inch) / Hip (inch)
Waist 65cm(25.5905512inch)
Hip 90cm(35.4330709inch)
=0.722(low WHR)

Answer 1

A) my body weight = 72 kg

my body height = 190 cm

gender = male

Ideal body weight ( broca equation )  = Men: IBW [kg] = (height[cm] - 100) - ((height[cm] - 100) × 10%)

= ( 190 cm - 100) - ( ( 190 cm ) - 100 ) X 10 %)

= 84 kg

B) Body Mass Index = body in kg divided by height in metre square

=70 kg / (1.90 X 1.90)

= 19. 39 kg / m²

= that is approximately 19.4 kg / m²

C ) Waist ( W ) = 80 cm

hip ( H ) = 97 cm

waist to hip ratio = W / H = 76 / 97

= 0. 8247

D ) IBW = i should attain 14 kg more to attain a healthy body weight in response to bidy height

BMI = My BMI indicates that my body is at a range o normal body weight ( 18.5 to 24.5)

WHR = the healthy waist and hip ratio might be above the 0.90
