  • 1 out of 3 Americans are trying to lose weight
  • 4-5 million people (mostly women) suffer from an
    eating disorder
  • Obesity (BMI lt 30) is an important health risk
    factor and accounts for 15-20 of annual deaths

So What is Wrong With Us?
  • Industrialized cultures food plenty
  • Decreased Physical Activity

    the Wrong Places)

Healthy Balance Weight and Appearance
  • ASK YOURSELF Does my weight interfere with my
    life goals, social life, energy level or health
    (Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes)
  • AND ASK Am I content with my appearance?

Health and Weight
  • Overweight vs. Obese
  • Overweight 10-20 lbs over ideal
  • Obese A chronic disease characterized by excess
    body fat and BMI gt30

BMI Body Mass Index and is a Ratio of height
to weight BMI (wt(lb) X 705) / ht(in) 2
7
BMI is a Good Screen But
  • Does not account for the heavy but well
    muscledor
  • The light but not lean
  • Other estimates of healthy weight then, must
    account for relative leanfat ratios

Body Composition measurements Estimate relative
fat and lean mass.
8
Examples of Body Composition Measures
  • Hydrostatic Weighing
  • Measures Body Density by Archimedes Principle D
    M/V
  • Muscle gtFat
  • Skinfold Thickness
  • Majority of fat is stored
    sub-cutaneously
  • Therefore Skinfold thickness is good estimate

9
Why is it important to know our Body Comp?
  • Fat is associated with health
  • Lean Body Mass is a better indicator of fitness /
    health than weight
  • Body composition naturally changes with age
  • Increased fitness may reduce body fat but not
    reduce weight!
