Estimated-Adult BMI Versus BMI for Monitoring Childhood Obesity
THE SKY-International Journal of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (IJPESS), 2023 A child or an adult is considered obese (wasted), when the incumbent has excess (lesser) mass-for-height. BMI (body-mass index) is, universally, employed to estimate status of obesity (wasting). The name was given by Ancel Keys (1904-2004) and co-workers, replacing the earlier name ‘Quetelet index’ (1832) after the Belgian astronomer, mathematician and
