Difference between revisions 214765 and 244025 on siwikiThe '''ශරීර ස්කන්ධ දර්ශකය'' ('''BMI'''), or '''Quetelet index''', is a [[heuristic]] proxy for human body fat based on an individual's weight and height. BMI does not actually measure the [[Body fat percentage|percentage of body fat]]. It was devised between 1830 and 1850 by the [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[polymath]] [[Adolphe Quetelet]] during the course of developing "social physics".<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1093/ndt/gfm517 |title=Adolphe Quetelet (1796–1874)—the average man and indices of obesity |year=2007 |last1=Eknoyan |first1=Garabed |journal=Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation |volume=23 |pmid=17890752 |pages=47–51 |issue=1}}</ref> Body mass index is defined as the individual's body mass divided by the square of his or her height. The formulae universally used in medicine produce a [[Units of measurement|unit of measure]] of kg/m<sup>2</sup>. BMI can also be determined using a BMI chart,<ref>E.g., the [http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.htm Body Mass Index Table] from the [[National Institutes of Health]]'s NHLBI.</ref> which displays BMI as a function of weight (horizontal axis) and height (vertical axis) using contour lines for different values of BMI or colors for different BMI categories. {| ! <math>\mathrm{BMI}</math> | <math>= \frac{\mbox{mass}(\mathrm{kg})}{\left(\mbox{height}(\mathrm{m})\right)^2}</math> |- | ||<math>= \frac{\mbox{mass}(\mathrm{lb})}{\left(\mbox{height}(\mathrm{in})\right)^2}\times 703</math> |- | ||<math>= \frac{\mbox{mass}(\mathrm{lb})}{\left(\mbox{height}(\mathrm{ft})\right)^2}\times 4.88</math> |- | ||<math>= \frac{\mbox{mass}(\mathrm{st})}{\left(\mbox{height}(\mathrm{in})\right)^2}\times 9840</math> |} [[ar:مؤشر كتلة الجسم]] [[az:Bədən kütləsinin göstərici]] [[bar:Keapa-Moss-Index]] [[bg:Индекс на телесната маса]] [[ca:Índex de massa corporal]] [[ckb:BMI]]⏎ [[cs:Index tělesné hmotnosti]] [[da:Body Mass Index]] [[de:Body-Mass-Index]] [[dv:ބޮޑީ މާސް އިންޑެކްސް]] [[el:Δείκτης μάζας σώματος]] [[en:Body mass index]] [[eo:Korpomasa indico]] [[es:Índice de masa corporal]] [[et:Kehamassiindeks]] [[eu:Gorputz-masaren indize]] [[fa:شاخص توده بدنی]] [[fi:Painoindeksi]] [[fr:Indice de masse corporelle]] [[gl:Índice de masa corporal]] [[he:מדד מסת גוף]] [[hi:शरीर द्रव्यमान सूचकांक]] [[hr:Indeks tjelesne mase]] [[hu:Testtömegindex]] [[id:Indeks massa tubuh]] [[it:Indice di massa corporea]] [[ja:ボディマス指数]] [[jbo:ketlete]] [[kn:ಭೌತಿಕ ದ್ರವ್ಯರಾಶಿ ಸೂಚಿ]] [[ko:체질량 지수]] [[lt:Kūno masės indeksas]] [[ms:Index Jisim Badan]] [[nl:Queteletindex]] [[nn:Kroppsmasseindeks]] [[no:BMI]] [[oc:Indici de massa corporala]] [[pl:Body Mass Index]] [[pt:Índice de massa corporal]] [[ro:Indice de masă corporală]] [[ru:Индекс массы тела]] [[simple:Body mass index]] [[sk:Index telesnej hmotnosti]] [[sr:Индекс телесне масе]] [[sv:Body Mass Index]] [[ta:உடல் நிறை குறியீட்டெண்]] [[th:ดัชนีมวลกาย]] [[tr:Vücut kitle indeksi]] [[uk:Індекс маси тіла]] [[vi:Chỉ số khối cơ thể]] [[zh:身高體重指數]] All content in the above text box is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license Version 4 and was originally sourced from https://si.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=244025.
