The bed-scales determine the section in which the torques of the upper and lower body is balanced. In this section, body circumference is measured and a relationship is sought between body circumference and body mass parameters (M, kg), body height (H, m), and body mass index (BMI, kg/m2). Aim of the study: Investigate the relationship between the circumference of the body in the cross section of the equal torques of the upper and the lower body and the body mass index of the body.

Abstract:
Correlations of body composition with height vary by age and sex during childhood. Standard approaches to accounting for height in measures of body composition (dividing by height (in meters)2) do not take this into account. Using measures of total body mass (TBM), fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) at ages nine, 11, 13, 15 and 18 years from a longitudinal UK cohort study (ALSPAC), we calculated indices of body composition at each age by dividing measures by height (in meters)2.

The relationship between body fat and stature-adjusted weight indices was explored. Assuming the term height2 is a valid indicator of a subject's lean body mass, height2/weight was shown to be an accurate measure of percentage lean body mass and, as such, a better predictor of percentage body fat than the traditional body mass index (BMI; weight/height2). The name, lean body mass index (LBMI), is proposed for the index height2/weight. These assumptions were confirmed empirically using the results from the Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey (ADNFS).

Abstract:
Sedentary lifestyles of many individuals have made them prone to many health risks ranging from diabetes, High Blood Pressure (HBP), obesity and other cardiovascular diseases. One simple and smart way of verifying a risk factor is a knowledge of the Body Mass Index (BMI) of an individual. This project aimed at designing and developing anAutomated Body Mass Index Assessment Device to measure and display the BMI of persons. BMI is calculated using the knowledge of the mass or weight in Kilograms and height (squared) in square-meters of the individual. This device is composed of a MHT1, miniature

Body Height and body mass are the most common parameters in forensics. However, in some situations it is not possible to measure the height and weight of the perpetrator or victim due to a lack of evidence in the crime scene area. Several previous studies have shown that height and body mass can be measured effectively using footprints. This research aims to develop formulas for adult body height and body mass using anthropometric measurements on the soles of the feet. Measurements were carried out on 105 (54 men and 51 women) Airlangga University students aged 18-23 years from August 2022 to

AbstractKnowledge of players’ anthropometric profiles may contribute to a better understanding of the differences between their performance levels. For example, vertical jump height, which is a major indicator of a volleyball player’s performance, is influenced by favorable anthropometric variables. This study’s aim was to describe anthropometric profiles of elite female volleyball players competing in the 1st and 2nd divisions in Portugal and to link these profiles with performance skills such as jump height obtained during blocking and spiking actions. Fifty-nine volleyball players were anal

Abstract:
Hypertension is the leading cause of premature death in the world. It does not only attack the productive age but also attacks the elderly. Hypertension is known as "The Silent Killer" because it is often without complaints and there are complications. Body Mass Index (BMI) is very influential on blood pressure. Abnormal BMI has twice the chance of experiencing hypertension and triggers higher risk factors for hypertension than normal people. This research aims to determine the relationship between BMI and the incidence of hypertension in Ngablak Hamlet, Sitimulyo Piyungan Village, Bantul, Yog

Abstract:
Humans of different sizes move in very similar ways despite the size difference. The principles of geometric scaling provide insight into the reasons for the similar movement patterns observed. In human locomotion, body size influences endurance running performance, with shorter body sizes being an advantage due to better heat exchange compared with their taller counterparts. Scaling can also show the equivalence of child gait with that of adults in terms of stride length and walking velocity. In humans, maximum jump height is independent of standing height, a scaling result which has been val

Secular trends in body height and body mass serve as critical indicators of a population's nutrition, health, and overall well-being. This comprehensive study delves into the anthropometric data of Slovenian young adults spanning a remarkable 65-year period, comparing these findings with secular trends observed in other populations. Data acquisition was accomplished through the utilization of the SLOfit system and the integration of earlier research studies in Slovenia. Height and body mass measurements were collected employing standardized methodologies. Generalized Additive Models for Locati

SummaryStudy aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between basic somatic features (body mass and height) and body mass loss in physically inactive young women and men exposed to thermal stress in a dry sauna.Materials and methods: The research was conducted in 2015 on 685 first-year full-time students (333 women, 352 men), aged 19–20 years old. Nude body mass was measured after the students dried off before and after using the sauna.Results: An analysis of regression equations indicated that an increase in the body mass of women and men leads to a significant increase in
