Health The Truth about the “Body Mass Index” A frequent question among people of a certain age, is “Why, when I weigh the same as or less than I did when I was younger, does my waist keep getting bigger?” Phrased another way, the question could be “Why, when my body mass index has not changed, am I fatter than I used to be?”

The simple answer is that the index, usually called B.M.I. for short, is a crude measure of fatness in individuals.

Calculated by dividing one’s weight in kilograms by the square of one’s height in meters, it doesn’t differentiate between fatty and lean tissue.

“The B.M.I. tables are excellent for identifying obesity and body fat in large populations, but they are far less reliable for determining fatness in individuals,” explained Dr. Carl Lavie, a cardiologist at the Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans.

Fat Tissue, Lean Tissue Fat takes up about four times the space of muscle tissue, for example, so it is quite possible to look and feel fatter even if your height and weight remain the same. This is particularly common among women past 50 and men past 60, and the results are likely to show around the middle.

For children and the elderly, body mass values can be especially misleading because the relationship of lean body mass to height changes as they get older.

B.M.I. charts pop up all over the place, in popular publications, exercise facilities and doctors’ offices. The charts are widely used by doctors to determine if

their patients are underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.

Thus, a body mass of less than 18.5 is considered underweight; 18.5 to 24.9 is considered a healthy weight; 25 to 29.9 is overweight; 30 to 39.9 is obese; and 40 or more is morbidly obese.

If you fall into the “healthy weight” or “underweight” range, you can easily be lulled into a false sense of security. But thinness is not necessarily healthy. A low B.M.I. could be indicative ofmalnutrition, anorexia, cancer or a wasting disease. On the other hand, if you are an athlete or Continued on page 6

How to Keep Your Cut Flowers Fresh Is a copper penny the right choice to keep cut flowers fresh? Or is the little packet of flower food?

An aspirin? What water temperature is best? What is the trick that will triple the lifespan of cut flowers?

Often folk tips are based on good science. Learn about what works and what doesn’t, and why, to keep your cut flowers fresh, here: Copper Penny, Aspirin, and Other Alternatives to Chemical Flower Food The little packet of flower food are bactericides that kill the bacteria, yeasts, and fungi.

Here are tips of reaching this same goal without the chemicals: • Copper is a fungicide and acts to preserve the water from too many yeasts and fungi.

• Aspirin is an acid and helps to kill bacteria overgrowth.

• Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar to 1 quart of water. The idea here is the same as with aspirin, since lemon juice and vinegar are acidic.

Other Guidelines To Keep Fresh Flowers Fresh • Place cut flowers in cold water, not warm! Warm water dehydrates flowers.

• Placing cut flowers in the refrigerator for six hours before arranging them will triple their lifespan.

• Hot water–up to 110-200 F–is recommended to restore very wilted flowers (the hotter water is for the more wilted flowers).

• Except for when you are cooling flowers, when you want cold water to cover the stems of the flowers, there is no need to have the water go higher on the stems then six inches.

• Recut the stems every few days.

• Remove all leaves and foliage below the water line.

Both theWorld Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health define obesity as more than 25 percent body fat in men and more than 35 percent body fat in women. So “a woman who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 120 to 125

Among Americans in general, he said, “a six-foot, 250-pound man will be obese, but if he were an athlete of 6-foot-3 weighing 280 pounds, he might be solid muscle with only 2 percent body fat.”

In our next article we’ll tell you about an alternative way to measure your body fat.
