Relative merits of the weight-corrected-for-height indices.
Based on weight and height data on 35.523 subjects representing both sexes, ages 18 yr and over, and five diverse ethnic populations, the obesity index W/H (p is derived from the observed weight-height data) was compared with the traditional obesity indices (W/H. W/H2, W/ H. and H/W”t) in terms of maximum correlation with weight and minimum correlation with height (i.e., unbiased by height). Of...

متن کاملHeight and Git Weight
In this note, we first establish a connection between the weight in the geometric invariant theory and the height introduced by Cornalba and Harris [CH] and Zhang [Z]. Then we give two applications. First, it provides a converse of Cornalba and Harris’s result, which can be treated as a function field analogue of Zhang’s theorem over number field. In particular, this connection gives a numerica...
متن کاملSome mathematical properties of weight-for-height indices used as measures of adiposity.
A problem often encountered in large-scale epidemiological studies is the assessment of a person's relative adiposity from very limited data such as measurements of his height and weight only. There have been several papers in recent years, those of Billewicz, Kemsley and Thomson (1962), Kemsley, Billewicz and Thomson (1962), Khosla and Lowe (1967), Evans and Prior (1969), and Florey (1970), wh...
متن کاملWeight - for - height indices to assess nutritional status - a new index on a 2
The protein-energy malnutrition classification schemes of Waterlow and McLaren, although similar in other respects, assess the weight-for-height of children in quite different ways. The drawbacks of their two methods are described, and an alternative method is presented which overcomes them. The new index is called weight/height2-for-age, and consists of the ratio weight/height2 expressed as a ...
