Classification

Other methods

While BMI is a simple measure that is very useful for populations, it can only predict risk in individuals. Afterall, BMI is a measure of size not health and so has some limits as a diagnostic tool. For example, athletes are commonly misclassified due to their high muscle mass. In short, BMI is most useful at a population level and for determining risk (not diagnosis) at a individual level. Other methods of classifying obesity include measurement of waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS). Waist circumference (WC) is a cheap and easy method of measurement. Waist circumference is considered a reasonable indicator of intra-abdominal or visceral fat. This fat is closely associated with increased risk of comorbidity. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence cut off points suggest males with WC >94cm or Females with WC => 85cm are considered to be at increased risk. The World Health Organisation have identified levels of risk combining both BMI and WC. On the other hand, waist to hip involves two measurements and but is also cheap and easy to use on large populations. The ratio highlights if excess weight is stored around the waist resulting in increased risk of comorbidities. Males with a waist to height ratio >1.0 and Females with a weight to height ratio >0.85 are considered to be at increased risk. Increasingly, the EOSS is being used in clinical settings. The EOSS diagnoses and considers the severity of obesity based on a clinical assessment of weight-related health issues, mental health and quality of life. This is useful at an individual level and for decision-making for treatment, but it is not practical at the population level. Finally, biometric impedance, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Computed Tomography and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scans are also available, but most are normally too expensive to be used on large populations.

Q&A: How to Get in Shape in Five Weeks

How to get in shape in five weeks – the short answer by top London Personal Trainer, Nick Mitchell. (Please note that this personal training question first appeared in the June issue of FHM magazine) Question: “Nick, I’m going on my older brother’s stag do in five weeks, but I’ve got a body like a slug. Is there a really quick fitness and diet regime I can do to pump up and slim in that time, or have I just blown it?” Answer: Five weeks is plenty of time to change your body and build muscle and lose fat, but you need to be very disciplined. Drop all processed, starchy and sugary foods, consume 1-1.5gms of protein per lb of body weight, take in 10gms of supplemental fish oil daily, eat lots of green vegetables, and drink tonnes of water. Go to the gym and lift heavy weights with full-body bodybuilding type workouts three times a week, and at least twice a week go into the park and do sprint training for 30 minute sessions. Put your heart into it and this should transform your body in 5 weeks!
