Income and body mass index in Europe [PDF]

The problem of obesity is alarming public health authorities around the world. Therefore, it is important to study its determinants. In this paper we explore the empirical relationship between household income and body mass index (BMI) in nine European ...

Modeling of Body Mass Index by Newton's Second Law [PDF]

J. Theor. Biol. 248 (2007) 646, 2008
Since laws of physics exist in nature, their possible relationship to terrestial growth is introduced. By considering the human body as a dynamic system of variable mass (and volume), growing under a gravity field, it is shown how natural laws may influence the vertical growth of humans.

New perspectives for estimating body condition from mass/length data: the scaled mass index as an alternative method

, 2009
Body condition is assumed to influence an animal’s health and fitness. Various non-destructive methods based on body mass and a measure of body length have been used as condition indices (CIs), but the dominant method amongst ecologists is currently the ...

Time Discounting and the Body Mass Index [PDF]

In many Western countries, the relative weight of people – measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI) – has increased substantially in recent years, leading to an increasing incidence of overweight and related health problems.

The association of long-term trajectories of BMI, its variability, and metabolic syndrome: a 30-year prospective cohort studyResearch in context

EClinicalMedicine
Summary: Background: Limited data exists on how early-life weight changes relate to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in midlife. This study examines the association between long-term trajectories of body mass index (BMI), its variability, and MetS risk in

Masses and Magnetic Moments of Charmed Baryons Using Hyper Central Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Heavy flavour baryons containing one or two charm quarks with light flavour combinations are studied using the hyper central description of the three-body system. The confinement potential is assumed as hyper central coulomb plus power potential with power index $\nu$. The ground state masses and the magnetic moments of charmed, $J^P={1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}

Scaling of human body mass with height: The body mass index revisited

Journal of Biomechanics, 2010
We adapt a biomechanical argument of Rashevsky, which places limits on the stress experienced by a torso supported by the legs, to deduce that body mass $m$ of growing children should scale as the $p$th power of height $h$ with $7 ...
